In the years main as much as this dramatization of the reign of Queen Elizabeth II, Peter Morgan had written a variety of films (most notably 2006’s The Queen) concerning the royal family and/or British prime ministers. With The Crown, Morgan obtained to dive deep into his favorite subjects, casting multiple actresses (Claire Foy, then Olivia Colman, and shortly Imelda Staunton) to play Elizabeth at varied ages, and depicting her difficult relationships with varied prime ministers (especially Foy opposite John Lithgow’s Winston Churchill, and Colman opposite Gillian Anderson’s Margaret Thatcher). Carol Burnett had been a selection-show and sitcom staple for a lot of the Sixties, most famously in her collaborations with pal Julie Andrews, but her skills weren’t totally unleashed till she was given her own collection where she could parody films (like the well-known Gone With the Wind spoof that includes a costume with a curtain rod sticking out) or Tv (the recurring faux soap opera "As the Stomach Turns"), strive on accents, sing, and even expertly play the straight woman for co-stars like Vicky Lawrence, Harvey Korman, and Tim Conway. H, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, The Bob Newhart Show, and The Carol Burnett Show - that was all killer, no filler.
