a KING becomes a DUKE~ Better than it sounds~ 5 STARSReview created: 08/22/09
by:

PLOT: BASED on Real life King Edward who gave up his throne to marry an American Divorcee Wallis Simpson~ BBC does it right~
Prince Edward is the next in line for the British Throne and is busy having affairs with married women~ Edward Fox is very good as the handsome playboy who has married American Wallis capture his attention. Soon Edward pursues her inspite of husband and his title~ as he becomes KING he continues to become more and more in love with and involved with Mrs Simpson who is in the middle of a very messy divorce~ Edward soon finds that his own wishes to marry Wallis (that is her name) involve the goverment and english law. and HOW far Edward went to achieve his marriage, yet failed. This 2 DVD set is good but drags at times. the last 2 hours are the very BEST when Edward (known as DAVID) to his family and friends makes his fateful choice to give up the THRONE to marry the now free Mrs. Simpson. Cynthia Harris is good at the clever and witty Wallis. What makes this more ironic is the Divorced Prince Charles and remarried may someday have some of the same issues but times have changed opinion and the ability to be happy. Also included in this set is the Biography from A&E of Mrs. Simpson which is also excellent. WORTH THE WATCH AND I GIVE THIS DVD VERSON A SOLID 9 OUT OF 10 FOR MINISERIES TO WATCH.

An excellent period piece!If you watch the special feature: a biography of Wallis Simpson, you'll realize how carefully the cast was chosen for this historical drama. The actors are oh-so-British, with barely a hint of passion, (which is certainly reserved for the bedroom, where the viewer is NOT invited)but strong feelings evident throughout. It's realistic, it's history portrayed realistically -- it doesn't get any better than this.
