Wonderfully acted by Judi Dench and Bob Hoskins. Based on a true story. Lovely music and stage work; sublime humour. Dench richly deserved her Academy Award nomination for her role as Mrs. Henderson.

I love period films and anything with Judy Dench is usually good so I rented this form Netflix. I had high expectations because of all the award nominations this film received. This movie exceeded my expectations. It is a bold story and based on a true story. The performances are great and it is both funny and touching.

Also, there is are some interesting featurs on the DVD about the true story of the the Windmill Theatre and the making of the film. You even get to see pictures of the original Windmill Girls and mee to some of them today. Most of them are in their 80s.

I just adore Judy Dench Can wait to see what happens.
