No need to waste time endlessly browsing—here's the entire lineup of new movies and TV shows streaming on Netflix this month.
King Edward VIII (Anthony Andrews) abdicated the British throne in 1936 & married 'the woman he loved' Wallis Simpson (Jane Seymour) in France in 1937. Yep, how things have changed! Nevertheless Wallis Simpson's letters prove that the man she really loved was Ernest Simpson (Tom Wilkinson), not the Prince of Wales, whom, according to recent biographers, she never wanted to spouse. Andrews, inexpressive and hammy, isn't good as Edward VIII. Seymour, just okay. Comparing a number of versions of this story, this is probably the weakest. ¨Edward and Mrs. Simpson¨ is definitely the best.
