Special Features

The King's Speech features a nice little assortment of extras, highlighted by an A+ commentary track; a strong making-of featurette; and the best extra in the group, a pair of the real King George VI's wartime speeches.

• Audio Commentary: Director Tom Hooper delivers an outstanding commentary that's perfectly balanced between filmmaking styles and choices, the history behind the characters and story, the work of the actors, the picture's music and how it relates to the story and themes, various technical insights into the making of the movie, and anecdotes from the shoot. Hooper's commentary is steady and smart, never too slow and never straying from topic. It's the perfect companion to an extraordinary film. A must-listen.
• The King's Speech: An Inspirational Story of an unlikely Friendship (480p, 23:01): In this all-encompassing feature, cast and crew discuss the characters, the history of the true-life events that inspired the film, the real-life relationship between King Georve VI and Lionel Logue, the performances of the cast, the work of Director Tom Hooper, the picture's score, creating the perfect period appearance, and more. The piece consists of interview clips and many snippets from the film.
• Q&A With the Director & the Cast (1080p, 22:02): KCRW's Matt Holzman hosts Claire Bloom, Guy Pearce, Tom Hooper, Helena Bonham Carter, and Colin Firth.
• Speeches From the Real King George VI (1080p): Includes the King's Pre-War Speech from September 3, 1939 (5:40) and his Post-War Speech from May 14, 1945. Easily the finest extra available on the disc.
• The Real Lionel Logue (480p, 10:34): A brief overview of the man who saw the King through his greatest personal struggle, as told through an interview with his grandson Mark, author of The King's Speech: How One Man Saved the British Monarchy.
