Wallis and Edward (2005) short review

Kendra May 7, 2005
Wallis & Edward (2005)

An ITV (UK TV) drama about the romance between Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson (the American divorcee for whom he abdicated the throne), told very much from Wallis’s point of view. I found this entertaining, although I did wonder how factual it was. It has the fabulous costuming (set in the late 1930s) so typical of British mid-20th century period productions, including a gorgeous repro of Wallis’s wedding dress.
