Mrs. Henderson Presents:London, 1937. Mrs Laura Henderson, a woman of wealth and ... more

connections, has just buried her beloved husband.
And now she's bored. Friends suggest she finds a
hobby and to their amazement she buys the Windmill
Theatre. Newly appointed manager, Vivian Van Damm,
is shocked by the outrageous, provocative and
eccentric Mrs Henderson. When business begins to
fail she comes up with a new idea to get the
crowds back - put naked girls on stage! But as the
bombing of London begins, the government threatens
to close the theatre. Mrs Henderson's fighting
spirit is revealed - and so is the secret that
drew her to buy the Windmill in the first place.
Featuring an all-star British cast including
Academy Award nominees Judi Dench and Bob Hoskins,
Kelly Reilly and introducing Will Young.Separate
Lies:Secrets and lies spiral out of control in
this mesmerizing suspense thriller. Tom Wilkinson
and Emily Watson star as James and Anne, a
seemingly happy couple whose marriage begins to
unravel when he learns she's been having an affair
with their seductive neighbour, Bill (Rupert
Everett). When a man turns up dead, James faces
another shocking revelation that may cost him
everything.Girl With A Pearl Earring:In order to
support her family, seventeen-year-old Griet
becomes a maid in the house of Johannes Vermeer
and soon attracts the master painter's attention.
Although worlds apart in upbringing and social
standing, Vermeer recognises her intuitive
understanding of his work and slowly draws her
into his mysterious world of art and passion.
Whilst she falls increasingly under Vermeer's
spell, his volatile family quickly grow jealous of
her. Maria, his shrewd mother-in-law, struggles to
maintain the family's lavish lifestyle, and seeing
that Griet inspires Vermeer, takes the decision to
let their relationship to develop. Van Ruijven,
also sensing the intimacy between master and maid,
commissions Vermeer to paint Griet's portrait. The
result will be one of the greatest paintings ever
created... but at what cost?

The Queen/Mrs Henderson Presents [DVD] [2005]

The Queen/Mrs Henderson Presents [DVD] [2005]

The Queen- Helen Mirren reigns supreme inThe Queen, a witty and ingenious look at a moment ... more

that rocked the house of Windsor: the week that
followed the sudden death of Princess Diana in
1997. Diana's death came at just the same time
that Prime Minister Tony Blair (played by the
bright Michael Sheen) was settling into his new
government--and trying to figure out the delicate
relationship between 10 Downing Street and Queen
Elizabeth II (Mirren). A large portion of the
British population was trying to figure out the
Windsors that week, as Elizabeth remained
stiff-upper-lip and largely mum about the death of
the beloved princess. In Peter Morgan's skillful
script, we watch as Blair grows increasingly
impatient with the Royals, who are sequestered in
their Scottish estate while the public demands
some show of grief. Prince Philip (James Cromwell,
in good form) clumsily decides to take Diana's
sons hunting, while a sympathetically-treated
Prince Charles (Alex Jennings) displays some
frustration with his mother's eerie calm.None of
this conveys how funny the film is, or how deftly
it flows from one scene to the next. Director
Stephen Frears (Dirty Pretty Things) deserves
great credit for that, and for the performances,
and for the movie's marvelous sense of
well-roundedness; you could see this movie and
groan at the cluelessness of the Royals and their
outmoded existence, or you might just sympathise
with showing reserve in a world that values gross
public displays of emotion. But either way, you'll
marvel at Mirren, who makes the Queen far more
alert and human than one might ever have
imagined.--Robert HortonMrs Henderson Presents-
The blitz-bombing of London in World War II
provides the serious backdrop for the uplifting
entertainment ofMrs Henderson Presents, a
delightful comedy anchored by the flawless
performances of Judi Dench and Bob Hoskins.After
losing a son in World War I, and becoming a widow
in 1937, the wealthy and respectable Mrs.
Henderson (Dench) decides that the best way to
support soldiers going off to battle is to give
them a wartime send-off they'll never forget.
Thus, she buys and renovates the Windmill Theatre
in London's Soho district, hires Mr. Vivian Van
Damm (Hoskins) as the impresario of an all-day
musical variety show called "Revudeville," and
secures permission from the censorious Lord Cromer
(Christopher Guest) to include naked women in the
stage show--on the condition that the ladies
remain still onstage to qualify as "art," like
nude portraits in a gallery, with the "foliage" of
their "midlands" discreetly obscured.
"Revudeville" is an instant hit, British propriety
remains tastefully intact, and as The Windmill's
fortunes rise, fall, and rise again,Mrs Henderson
Presentsdevelops an emotional depth and
good-natured nobility that's perfectly matched to
the comedy of tweaking British manners.Working
from an eloquently witty, fact-based screenplay by
Martin Sherman, director Stephen Frears (High
Fidelity) brings out the best in a well-chosen
cast, and Andrew Dunn's cinematography (enhanced
by judicious use of digital effects to show the
London blitz in progress) casts a warm, inviting
glow over this winning tale of show-biz tenacity
in the best and worst of times.--Jeff Shannon

A Little Of What The Butler Saw?

Advantages: A colourful cheeky little film about the history of a London theatre.
Disadvantages: Nothing dramatic or outstandingly fantastic!

...Windmill Street near Piccadilly Circus, Mrs Laura Henderson employs staff to run it, in particular Mr Vivian Van Damm who is not intimidated by his new boss, he manages, writes and produces the variety shows for the theatre. At first it is a big success, but other theatres start to copy their ideas, and they begin to lose money when audiences flag.

Mrs Henderson suggests boldly "We've had some good shows, but they're not daring ...
...MAIN CHARACTERS:

Mrs Laura Henderson - A recently widowed woman, who uses her money to invest in a London theatre. Naming it 'The Windmill' she wants to be involved in everything from the re-designing of the interior to the private lives of the theatres stars! We see this character form a volatile relationship with the theatre producer, yet although they clash, they do have a mutual respect for each other. Mrs Henderson reasons that ... more

Advantages: Great story, excellent scenery, great acting
Disadvantages: Bob Hoskins Naked!!!!!

Mrs Henderson Presents is a film which was my choice as I like Judy Dench. I had heard quite a lot about how good the film was so when I saw it for a bargain price I snapped it up. Judy Dench stars as Mrs Henderson who has recently lost her husband as is finding life is getting boring. Her best friend tells her that she needs to find a hobby. Everyone is shocked when Mrs Henderson takes this to the extreme and buys the Windmill Theatre! As she ...
...putting on similar shows so Mrs Henderson and Vivian have to come up with a new idea for a unique show. Mrs Henderson comes up with the idea of Nude theatre but as Vivian tells her she will never get a licence to be able to do this. Will Mrs Henderson get her licence for the nude show and what will happen to the theatre once the war starts? Will Vivian and Mrs Henderson ever be able to get on and stop all the bickering????? I really did enjoy this ...

Advantages: Great cast, plenty of chuckles and ultimately 'feelgood'
Disadvantages: Not for the easily offended

...musical. Judy Dench plays Mrs Henderson, a lady of high social standing and independent monetary means who has lived a life restrained by the conventions of Edwardian/Victorian morals. When she finds herself a widow in her late 60's she grieves for the husband she has lost and also resents the position in society which convention dictates she should take up, namely charitable good works. She finds life as a wealthy dowager dull and she soon seeks ...
...he has to overcome is Mrs Henderson's constant interfering. The chemistry between these two characters is what gives the film its spark and its best chuckles, they are complete opposites and annoy each other yet both need each other. This role is notable because it also features Mr Hoskins first full frontal nude scene (I say 'first' because you never know), which is needless to say comical but all done in the best possible taste. Other notables ...

Bertie, the male lead in the Musical Review that the theatre puts on is played by Will Young, and before you laugh he is actually very good at it.

Advantages: Interesting story, good acting
Disadvantages: Not everyones idea of a good film

...recently widowed and very wealthy Mrs Henderson purchases an old run down theatre in London's West End and appoints Vivian Van Damm as the manager. This is a film based on true events and it is a film that always intrigued me enough to want to watch it. The other evening I finally got the chance. Mrs Laura Henderson, played by Dame Judi Dench is a 70 year old widow who on losing her husband has just returned back to England from India. She ponders ...

This novel idea draws in the crowd and is an instant success but before long other West End theatres begin ...

Vaudeville? In London? Naked ladies? Surely not!

Advantages: Excellent casting, top quality directing and good storyline.
Disadvantages: Bob Hoskins accent is not quite 'kosher'!

...of a recently bereaved widow, Mrs Henderson (played by Dame Judy Dench) who has more money than sense, a sharp tongue and an ascerbic wit. She wastes no time at all in complaining to her close friend and fellow widow (played by Thelma Barlow - formerly Mavis in Coronation Street) that she is fed up of tea and sympathy and is bored so sets about finding herself a hobby. Mrs Henderson, on a whim, buys a rundown theatre and completely revamps it for ...
...new gimmick and quick. Mrs Henderson doesn' t disappoint when she thinks of a gimmick - that their revue show should be performed in the nude! Will Young (The X Factor) plays Bertie, a theatre performer, theatrical adviser and an excellent sidekick to Van Damm. He's also first to get his kit off! The film cover some of the morality issues theatres and performers faced at the time, especially when performers had some of their 'nakedness' on show. ...
