[78-L] The King's Speech

[David Lennick]

Interesting, since this will be in the same time frame as "Me and Orson Welles" 
which gets just about everything right but screws up mightily in a brief scene 
at a radio studio (including having the studio at the wrong network).

We saw "Barney's Version" yesterday. Takes place between the early 70s and 
2010. No anachronisms I noted, except that Barney must have had a really 
powerful little mantel radio to be able to pick up New York City at his cottage 
on Lake Memphremagog.
