The best portrayal of Edward VIII.


Edward Fox looked the most like him, than any other actor that played that character. And, Cynthia Harris as Wallis Simpson was spot on, too.

I think so too. The later attempts on this story mostly sugar-coated both figures. This version seems closest to the known facts, and the most balanced portrayal of events.

Incidentally, this DVD is fairly cheap right now - around $11 from walmart.com (I didn't even know they carried titles like this, but their website came up when I was checking prices via www.dvdpricesearch.com .) You can have it delivered to the nearest walmart store for free shipping.
