Touted as “the greatest love story of the 20th century,” it was also one of the most scandalous. And who better to capture the best elements of those two irresistible concepts—love and scandal—than one of the most lovingly scandalous personalities of the 20th century and beyond: Madonna. Here Madonna pens and directs her take on Prince King Edward VIII’s 1930s-era choice to abandon the crown of Britain in exchange for a life with the already twice-married Wallis Simpson, the woman he loved. Madonna directs. 2011. Anchor Bay Entertainment (anchorbayentertainment.com). —Nancy Ford
