Description:
On the evening of December 11, 1936, England's King Edward VIII formally broadcast his farewell to a nation. Torn between duty and love, he had decided to follow his heart. A powerful fairytale made all the more compelling because it actually happened, EDWARD & MRS. SIMPSON captures the unforgettable romance that develops between the Prince of Wales and an extraordinary American woman named Wallis Simpson. That she is already married and believed to have had previous affairs ruffles more than a few feathers. The scandal heats up when the Prince becomes King and declares his intention to marry his mistress, who has since divorced and become quite available. A critically acclaimed British mini-series from 1978 finally available on DVD, EDWARD & MRS. SIMPSON features seven episodes shot in sumptuous period detail and stars Edward Fox (Gandhi, A Passage to India) and Cynthia Harris (Mad About You, Three Men and a Baby). DVD Features: 'Wallis Simpson' Episode From A&E's Award-Winning Series BIOGRAPHY; Interactive Menus; Scene Selection

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Fine Britsh historical drama
This is a must for anyone interested in everything British. A fine miniseries with a perfect cast and generally first class acting, including many dear actors like Edward Fox and the late Nigel Hawthorne. They all make the story from the 30's as authentic and believable as humanly possible.
Rating: - Edward and Mrs. Simpson
I enjoyed this just as much as I did at the original airing on TV in 1978...only this was better. I didn't have to wait until next week to watch the next episode.
Rating:  - splendid
I was guided by the customer reviews when I was searching for a treatment of this story that I became interested in and so I selected this production. It is splendid, with sumptuous period detail, fine acting, and the time to tell the story completely. Since this was a television production there are no subtitles to identify places, times or characters so you will have to pay close attention to identify who is who and what their role is. Edward was neither a hero or villain, just a human being who made a decision for himself that a lot of people still find incomprehensible. It's a fascinating story and well told in this production.
Rating: - excellent
I have watched it twenty times and will watch it again and again.
Great quality actors.
Mrs Simpson character is wonderful.
Her outfits and her voice are mesmerizing.
Rating: - This Movie is So Realistic It's Almost Unreal!
Fabulous series. Uncanny in its realism. The leading characters are represented with such versimilitude that one gets the sensation of actually being there with them. This set was swiftly shipped by an excellent seller, whose communications and business-practice are to be commended. Thanks for enriching our lives with this great offering.
