Review
This brilliant historical expose of the english king who freed America from itself literally glows with intelligence, wit and style. Broadway vet Nathan Lane (The Impostors) plays the mad king as a kind of tragic Charlton Heston figure, right down to the crazy hair. We americans owe a huge debt to this noble kook who had the foresight to recognize Britain would eventually waste away into irrelevance. God save the king!
