Goofs
After King George VI gives his war speech in the studio with Logue present, he puts his military jacket back on, and the jacket collar is folded down in back as it should be. In the next shot, the collar is flipped up in back as he talks to Logue. In the shot when he leaves the studio, the jacket collar is back down flat as it should be.
Crazy Credits
In the end credit roll, Philip Clements is listed twice as Assistant Sound Editor.
