Royal Wives at War

Of course, since it's doubtful that anyone writing the script was "in the room," the feud between Wallis Simpson and Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, is based on a good deal of speculation. While it is captivating, the single high point for me is the historical perspective on the events leading up to and after the war. The actions of Wallis and Edward could certainly be deemed traitorous. Wallis considered herself a victim and said that the British people suffering shouldn't complain because she had put up with a great deal more. The pettiness of all of this is hard to take at times. I've always had trouble with the whole business of adulation for these spoiled brats. I have to say, however, the integration of actor portrayals and real film works pretty well.
