Mrs Henderson Presents

THE SHOW MUST GO ON, BUT THE CLOTHES MUST COME OFF.

mrshendersonpresentsIn 1937, newly widowed Laura Henderson (Judi Dench) buys a London theater, The Windmill, and spends World War II fighting with the manager (Bob Hoskins) and introducing nude tableaux. Director Stephen Frearsā€™s film was based on real events, the story of how London got its version of the Moulin Rouge. Itā€™s a breezy romantic comedy with serious undertones; entertaining, good-looking and British in a very attractive way. The movie offers nothing new and is awfully slight, but Dench and Hoskins are perfectly matched as two stubborn, very creative minds on collision course.
