"The Kings Speech" film.

[Arthur Little]

Watched it today a brilliant film, well acted and I could even make the talking sound out, which is unusual in today's films with too loud background music.

... on BOTH counts.

Only "disappointment" for me ... was to find out later - from Wikipedia - that Lionel Logue never received the courtesy of a knighthood for his services ..... even though he and the King remained best friends.

surprised me ... when one considers the numbers of untalented "riff raff" being given knighthoods "ten a penny" nowadays!

I saw in the credits at the end of the film that he did get an award of some sort in 1944 but you are right it was not a knighthood.
I deleted the film or I would watch the end again
