The award-winning movie will be shown at the Ludlow Town Hall Auditorium on Thursday, Feb. 16 at 7 PM. It tells the story of the man who became King George VI, the father of Queen Elizabeth II. After his brother, King Edward VIII, abdicates, George ('Bertie') reluctantly assumes the throne. Plagued by a dreaded stammer and considered unfit to be king, Bertie engages the help of an unorthodox speech therapist named Lionel Logue.
