PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
A Londoner by birth, writer David Seidler developed a profound childhood stutter. As a result, George VI, the stammering King who had to speak, became a boyhood hero, role model, and inspiration for this film. Seidler's credits include Tucker: The Man and His Dream, Quest for Camelot, and Onassis: The Richest Man in the World (Writers Guild of America Award winner). Seidler now resides in Santa Monica, California.
