[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 360779, member: 23"] Looking it up, Nigel had appeared in the stage play[I] The Madness Of George III[/I]* before playing the same part in the film adaption, so I wouldn't be surprised if both were true. It was a big performance, and the entire film feels theatrical which I suppose I factored in when I watched. But I also took the symptoms of his mental illness (the nature of which, as I remember, wasn't too specific in the film) at face value and assumed there was at least some accuracy in it. It's interesting to see it's treated quite differently in the Netflix series. * [I][SIZE=3]Something that made me smile was the reason for the title change. It was partly because the director felt it important to stress royalty to the intended international audience by having the word "King" in the title, but also partly because there was concern that Americans might see the title "The Madness Of George III" and be put off watching thinking it was a sequel and they'd missed the first two films. [/SIZE][/I] Good point. And I suppose each version comes with its own balance of researched historical accuracy and dramatic licence. [/QUOTE]
