Hitchens on The King's Speech

Alas, my favorite writer has some harsh words for my favorite movie (see posting below on "The King's Speech")--well, the only movie I've seen of the major Oscar contenders.

Hitchens' complaint is not with the movie--which he says is excellently made with an appealing human story--but with  the "bad history" that draws on what Hitchens calls "the cult of Winston Churchill."

Well, read for yourself.
