Storyline
At the official closing of the British Empire Exhibition at Wembley Stadium, Prince Albert, Duke of York, the second son of King George V, addresses the crowd with a strong stammer. Bertie, as he is called by his family, believes the first session is not going well, but Lionel, who insists that all his patients address him as such, has his potential client recite Hamlet’s To be, or not to be soliloquy while hearing classical music played on a pair of headphones.

“A novel is both a story and a piece of writing. A movie is a story and a piece of filmmaking.”
