Woman He Loved, The

At last!!!
I've been waiting for this movie to be released on DVD Region 1 forever!!! I knew it had been released in Austrlia so I figured it was just a matter of time before it would finally make it to the US market. Now I won't have to bring my ancient VHS tape of it to be transferred!!! In my opinion, this version is perhaps the best rendering of the Wallis Simpson and Edward VIII love story. Jane Seymour, as usual, is spot on with her Baltimore-American accent and Anthony Andrews perfectly captures the cadence of Edward VIII's speech. His expressions and nuances showed that he truly studied the role. There is also a nice cameo performance by the wonderful Olivia DeHavilland who portrays Mrs. Simpson's aunt. This DVD is a must for any Anglophile or student of British royal history!!

WOMAN HE LOVED, THE
I'VE BEEN WAITING MANY YEARS FOR THIS TO BECOME AVAILABLE IN THE US. ONE OF THE BETTER MOVIES MADE ON THIS SUBJECT. WORTH WATCHING IF YOU LIKE ROYAL BIOGRAPHIES.

Great movie.
I was so glad to find this wonderful historical bio on amazon. I had seen it years ago and loved the depiction of Wallis Simpson and Edward. Great story and well acted.
