Description

Superstar Madonna apparently is in love with stories involving royalty and scandal and when the two combine in real life that always makes for an interesting telling, even if can only be whispered about as was the case way back when in 1936. King Edward VIII was the reigning King of England when he fell in love with Wallis Simpson, an American divorcee. He even gave up his throne for love when their affair became known to the public. Although Madonna has received plenty of scathing reviews for her directing of W.E., she apparently had enough happy critics to warrant such comments as "better than expected". In other words, the "Like a Virgin" star was bound to be poorly received no matter how good her efforts. ally Winthrop finds herself obsessed by the romance of the century and now, six decades later, she researches the ill-fated romance between a commoner and British royalty and the film flashes back and forth between decades through visits to the famous Sotheby's auction house. Starring Abbie Cornish (Elizabeth: The Golden Age, Bright Star) is Wally Winthrop, Andrea Riseborough (Made in Dagenham, Never Let Me Go) portrays Wallis Simpson, and as King Edward VIII James D'Arcy from Into The Storm, An American Haunting. Consider this a period piece that's also a costume piece with style and flair!

They take on the case involving a hospital ER nurse named Vicky (Vinessa Shaw from Two Lovers, Stag Night) who accidently stuck herself with a syringe. Seems the big drug companies prevent the use of safer syringes to ward off such accidents happening. They seem willing to risk permanent and sometimes fatal results without consideration for others.ach year millions risk infection and contamination by such diseases as Hepatitis C and even HIV when accidental pricks occur. This time around there are two young lawyers who care enough to pursue it to a settlement even though it stretches their law firms business to near collapse. This even takes on international proportions because of the millions who die each year in Africa due to faulty syringes.
