The Madness of King George (1994)

Still wondering who Nigel Hawthorne is?  Then check out his Oscar-
nominated work in THE MADNESS OF KING GEORGE, still playing in both
Raleigh and Chapel Hill.  Stage director Nicholas Hytner, in a
remarkable screen debut, has adapted Alan Bennett's 1991 tragic comedy
to fine effect.  Sumptuous-looking and only mildly stuffy, the film
charts the madness that plagued King George III (Hawthorne) almost 30
years into his reign.  (Not Rated/107 min.)
