The U.S. has a history of fascination with the British royals. If you share such an interest, or had it whetted by the movie "Hyde Park on the Hudson," you might find this article interesting.

Hyde Park on the Hudson was really interesting. Bill Murray was a fabulous FDR !

Wasn't he, though? I thoroughly enjoyed his acting in that movie.

All the emphasis on the hot dog eating was a hoot.

I thought the friendship that the 2 men had was portrayed very well.

Yes it was. Each had an "impediment," shall we say, and found common ground in the fact that if their subjects/citizens realized they were just a couple of blokes at heart with real shortcomings that everyday people have, what would happen?
