Synopsis:
London, 1937. Mrs. Laura Henderson (Judi Dench), a woman of wealth and 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 (Bob Hoskins), 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.

Run of the mill period drama - Mrs Henderson Presents review by CJ

Spoiler Alert
09/12/2017

What can I say, it's a pretty ho-hum run of the mill modern made historical musical drama on how the London Windmill Theatre came into being. Was hoping it would be bit more like a Ken Russell style musical, given the risque subject matter. But no such luck... Boo...
