My Obsession
Ok, we all have them...our personal, private obsessions. And the Duke and Duchess are mine. This was a very interesting movie. Even though I've read practically every book written about both of them, it was fascinating to see them come to life through the old news reels. I'm glad I got to see this very historical work and I'm glad there are groups out there working to preserve these old movies in order to make them still-acessible to us 40 years later. I'm a person who finds it hard to sit still for the length of a movie but this one felt like it was over in no time. Highly recommended if they are your obsession too.
Two are better than one.
On this is what the dramatization of the '70's is based, that is, "Edward VIII and Mrs. Simpson." There are a few differences, however. (Perhaps, York House is part of Sandringham. Also, when the queen mother is mentioned, it is confusing to know if they are talking about Mary or Elizabeth.) I am glad I have both DVDs..
Great historical account
Lots of actual footage in the film. Good to have seen and heard the duke of Windsor giving his account of what happened.
