"The King's Speech" won the top award at the Toronto International Film Festival on Sunday, giving the film, directed by Tom Hooper some early momentum heading into Oscar awards season. The film starring Colin Firth as Britain's reluctant King George VI and Geoffrey Rush as his speech therapist, captured the festival's People's Choice award.
The film is about HRH Duke of York who was cured of a speech impediment by an Australian speech therapist Lionel George Logue.(1880-1953).
Less well known about the illustrious Logue is that he was also a dedicated Spiritualist towards the end of his life who discovered the faith after his wife's death in 1945. It has also long been rumoured that many members of the British Royal Family are believers in Spiritualism.
Watch an interview here with Colin Firth about the film.
