Hyde Park on Hudson

"Hyde Park on Hudson" is a historical drama that delves into a very specific moment in history—the 1939 visit of the King and Queen of the United Kingdom to upstate New York during Franklin D. Roosevelt's presidency. As a history-themed film, it incorporates typical genre elements such as period-accurate settings, political figures of the era, and an intertwining of personal and political narratives. It stands out by focusing not just on grand political events but on the intimate love affair between FDR (played by Bill Murray) and his distant cousin Margaret "Missy" Stuckley (played by Elizabeth Marvel), offering a humanizing and somewhat private glimpse into the life of a prominent historical figure. This blend of political history with personal drama, alongside strong performances and nuanced character portrayals, distinguishes it from other History titles that may focus more exclusively on public events or political upheaval.
