The 1936 abdication of Edward VIII to marry Wallis Simpson, a twice-divorced American, sparked a global scandal. The film "Wallis and Edward" tells the romantic side of the story from Wallis's perspective, tracing their affair from its beginnings when Edward was Prince of Wales and Wallis was still married to Ernest Simpson.
