Madness Of King George, Madness Of King George, Blu-Ray

In the late 1780s, George III of England (Nigel Hawthorne) began to suffer bouts of dementia, the source of which remains debated to this day. As the behavior of the monarch grew increasingly erratic, his scheming son (Rupert Everett) started the political groundwork for early ascension to the throne... and a controversial therapist (Ian Holm) labored to steer the regent back to rationality. Marvelously acted, meticulously crafted opus co-stars Helen Mirren, Rupert Graves, Amanda Donohoe, Julian Wadham. 110 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital stereo.
