Kuningas Yrjö VI:n tositarinaan perustuva draama kertoo monarkin yrityksestä löytää oma äänensä. Isänsä kuningas Yrjö V:n (Michael Gambon) kuoltua ja veljensä kuningas Edvard VIII:n luovuttua kruunusta skandaalinkäryisesti Bertie, joka on koko ikänsä kärsinyt kiusallisesta puheviasta, kruunataan hänen omaksi järkytyksekseen Englannin kuningas Yrjö VI:ksi. Kun maa häilyy sodan partaalla ja on kipeästi vahvan johtajan tarpeessa, hänen vaimonsa Elisabet, tuleva kuningataräiti, järjestää miehelleen tapaamisen eksentrisen puheterapeutin Lionel Loguen kanssa.

Loguen, perheensä, hallintonsa ja Winston Churchillin tuella kuningas voittaa änkytyksensä ja pitää radiopuheen, joka toimii innoituksena koko kansalle ja kokoaa valtakunnan yhteiseen rintamaan.

Luchino Viscontin muhkea eepos Sisilian aatelisluokasta, jonka valta ja loisto alkavat kuihtua 1860-luvun poliittisen kuohunnan keskellä. Elokuvan tapahtumat sijoittuvat Sisiliaan vuosina 1860–1863 juuri Italian yhdentymisen alkuvaiheisiin. Garibaldin armeija on noussut Sisilian Marsalassa maihin ja ruhtinas Salina lähtee perheineen ja palvelusväkineen kesäresidenssiinsä Donnafugataan. Ruhtinas oivaltaa, että feodalismin päivät Italiassa ovat luetut ja niin hän sallii veljenpoikansa Tancredin avioitua tavallisen rahvaan edustajan, rikkaan kauppiaan tyttären Angelican kanssa. Elokuva on tullut tunnetuksi upeasta tanssikohtauksestaan ja hitaan raukeasta toiminnasta.

Helen Mirrenin palkittu tulkinta edelleen elävästä Britannian kuningatar Elisabet II:sta on järisyttävä. Ei siksi, että Mirren näyttäisi tismalleen tältä, vaan koska Mirrenin Elisabet on etäinen, pidättyvä ja järkevä – aivan kuten kuningashuoneen edustajan kuuluukin. The Queen kertoo, miten Elisabet ja muu kuninkaallinen perhe reagoivat lyhyen ajan sisällä kahteen dramaattiseen asiaan. Vuonna 1997 valtaan nousee Britannian historian nuorin pääministeri, Tony Blair, ja vain hiukan myöhemmin prinsessa Diana kuolee auto-onnettomuudessa.

Leikkausvaiheessa tapahtuneiden isojen muutosten takia elokuvan ensi-ilta siirtyi vuoden 1928 puolelle.

Patricia Routledge gives a career-best performance as Queen Victoria in this 1964 series of plays based on the celebrated collection of dramas by playwright Laurence Housman.

A Broadway hit deemed too disrespectful for public performance in Britain until the late 1930s, Victoria Regina is a frank portrayal of an extraordinarily complex woman, tracing her development from royal teenager to inconsolable widow at the helm of a vast empire, with all her contradictions, prejudices and unconstitutional behavior.
