Hyde Park on Hudson
The President. The First Lady. The King. The Queen. The Mother. The Mistress...One weekend would unite two great nations...After cocktails of course.
Overview
The story of the love affair between FDR and his distant cousin Margaret Stuckley, centered around the weekend in 1939 when the King and Queen of the United Kingdom visited upstate New York.
I happened to catch a blurb about this movie after I finished it that sums it up nicely: it is a tedious affair about a tedious affair. The move looks great and the actors are great. The story? Not so much. At one point I forgot that there was a movie on because I found myself looking around the room.
