    "That American woman's" point of view

    There is one jarring fault. The lead actress hasn't got the American accent down. Too bad. Otherwise this is an interesting documentary interspersed with acted segments about Wallis. Since the story is from her POV it is quite sympathetic to her.

    Worth watching.

    Worth watching

    This documentary is narrated from Wallis Simpson's point of view, through her letters and personal diary. I found it interesting and informative. Good acting. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to know bit more about the story of the Royal Family.
