Here is what people are saying about the Bertie and Elizabeth: The Reluctant Royals - The Story of King George VI & Queen Elizabeth
4 Star Rating  "Pleasant production - could have run longer"2009-07-07
- Reviewed By rexhseattle
I enjoyed this program almost as much as the A & E "Victoria and Albert" but it could easily have been twice as long and given us more detail. All in all still a pleasant diversion. Well acted and set up.
 
4 Star Rating  "God Looketh on the Heart"2008-12-16
- Reviewed By jastay3
There is a Bible story that when the prophet Samuel went to choose the King of Israel the first candidate was a tall and impressive man. But God forbade it saying, "Man looketh on the outward appearance but God looketh on the heart." This went on several times until finally the King was chosen-David.

The story of George VI has always reminded me of this story. King George was a shy, almost hobbit-like man who looked like he would have been happier as an accountant then a King. And yet he became one of England's most beloved Kings.
This film is in some ways a subversion of the normal Hollywood ethos(perhaps, not least because it was not made in Hollywood). The hero was not the one who "followed his bliss". It was the decent, respectable man who followed his duty. His brother, by contrast did "follow his bliss" and comes off as rather a cad. "Bertie and Elizabeth" make normallity attractive and "convention" sublime. At a time when actually living the "mere" homely virtues of loyalty to family and country, and of decency of heart and of action could in fact be heroic.
The movie shows not only the drama of history but more incongruously and yet more realistically the familiar family life. It reminds one that a happy family is still a happy family even if mommy and daddy have the highly respectable job of reigning over the world's greatest empire.
The most heartwarming scene in the movie is of the royal couple touring the ruins of bomb-battered London to be greated by indomitable children waving Union Jacks. It shows the spirit that can prevail over adversity.
This is a movie well worth the watching.

I have so many DVDs about the Royal Family and this is one of the very best! There have been many movies, miniseries, etc that concentrate on the story of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor - this DVD looks at the story from a different perspective.
 
4 Star Rating  "likable historical drama......"2008-09-27
- Reviewed By retroredux
as someone who loves period dramas, but honestly knew nothing about Albert and Elizabeth, the current Queens parents, I picked up this DVD on a whim. I'm glad I did. Bertie and Elizabeth was a very likable period piece. The story of these two quiet royals suddenly thrust into the spotlight after Edwards abdication was portrayed in a gentle, though "warts and all" portrayal. The somewhat negative portrayal of Edward and Wallis Simpson was fascinating. As an American, most of what I'd heard of the affair was somewhat romanticized, "King leaving throne for the woman he loves" and all that. But in this film, the difficult consequences of that choice are more realistically portrayed.

All in all, this film was well done and has piqued my interest in reading up on this time period of British history. The only fault I see with the production was, like other reviewers, I think the production too short. I wish it had been a six hour mini series instead and delved more into the family's life, particularly Elizabeth's and Margaret's lives.

Recommended-4 stars.
 
4 Star Rating  "Likeable and informative"2007-10-06
- Reviewed By baysea
This is a tremendously likeable story of the courtship and lives of HRH Albert, Duke of York, the second son of King George V, and his wife and love of his life, Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyons, youngest daughter of the Scottish, Earl of Strathmore. Vivacious Elizabeth caught the eye of Bertie soon after she "came out" into Society and he persued her until she agreed to become his wife. As only the second son, and never in a million years, expecting to be thrust into the spotlight, nervous stammerer Bertie and his gentle wife had foreseen a quiet future as Duke and Duchess of York, living a genteel life with their two daughters, Elizabeth and Margaret Rose, but, upon the abdication of Bertie's elder brother David who renounced his title of King Edward V111, in order to marry Wallis Simpson, the family's position was changed irrevocably to that of a major position on the world stage. The family remained in London for the duration of WW2, refusing to be separated, even if it meant that they were in real danger of bombing, and were loved by the people for facing the same dangers and hardship that they did. The strain of his position for which he had never been prepared or trained, almost certainly contributed to the King's early death in 1952, leaving Queen Elizabeth now the Queen Mother and a widow for around 50 years. The costuming in this video was well done and great use was made of actual footage throughout the show... a most enjoyable 120 minutes.

Makes one understand the things that the royal family went through during the abdication crisis.
