H.M.S. Pinafore by Sir Arthur Sullivan and Sir William Schwenck Gilbert?
No! It's the Four Kings: King Edward VII (far right), his son George,
Prince of Wales, later George V (far left), and grandsons Edward,
later Edward VIII (rear), and Albert, later George VI (foreground),
c. 1908.

Saw this last night and thought it was glorious. I wasn't overly worried about the historical accuracy. I enjoyed Colin Firth's and Helena Bonham Carter's and Guy Pearce's performances. It was entertaining, and I thought they all did a superb job.

The King's Speech started this week in Germany. I plan to see it on Friday; looking forward to it :)

I finally saw The King's Speech yesterday at the Wednesday afternoon showing. Colin Firth really was brilliant. I was struck also with how well the crowds (extras?) did with making the silences 'uncomfortable' - you could feel it yourself on Bertie's behalf.
It's been a Colin Firth 24 hours, or 36 hours or something, because night before last Paulie and I watched Another Country, which has a very young Colin Firth (before he learned to act all stoic-like).
Here's Part 1 of that film. It's available on Netflix streaming and also seems to be on youtube in 9 parts.
