4/07/2013

From Roger Michell, the acclaimed director of Notting Hill, comes Hyde Park of Hudson, a charming and fresh look at one of the most pivotal meetings in history. Starring Academy Award® nominees Bill Murray (Lost in Translation, Moonrise Kingdom) and Laura Linney (The Savages, Love Actually), Hyde Park on Hudson explores the mysteries of love and friendship, and the bond between U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt (Murray) and his neighbor and intimate Margaret Suckley (Linney). In 1939, as Great Britain faces the imminent war with Germany, FDR invites the King and Queen of England for a June weekend at his Upstate NY home.
