This five minute video is essentially a preview for the movie "The King's Speech." This can be quite useful if you want to know something about the movie before deciding if you want to add it to your collection.
The video gives us clips from the film; clips of actors and crew working on the set both between takes and during filming--and more! For example, there are brief comments by Colin Firth who plays The Duke of York (who becomes King George VI) and Geoffrey Rush who plays Lionel Logue, an Australian speech therapist. Helena Bonham Carter talks a bit about the film and playing the wife of The Duke of York; and Guy Pearce also comments. Guy plays Edward VIII who abdicates the throne which forces his nerve-wracked younger brother, The Duke of York, to become King of England at a very dark time for their country.
If you are thinking of getting this film, watch this and get a good idea of what it's all about. (And yes, there are extras on the DVD.)

This is a different story that will keep you interested till the end.
Exceptional performance by Colin Firth and Helena Bonhan Carter.
It's the story of Queen Elizabeth's father that became king in a non-natural way and the struggle he had with public speaking.
Excellent film, lots of fun.
