Synopsis
Mrs. Laura Henderson (Dame Judi Dench) may be a widow but she is by no means going to spend the rest of her days playing bridge. The Windmill Theater becomes her game and the infamous showman Vivian Van Dam (Bob Hoskins) becomes her partner and fiercest opponent. The Germans are bombing London but the roar of the Windmill is all that can be heard as Laura convinces Lord Cromer (Christopher Guest) to allow her actresses to be the one thing no one could ever imagine: NUDE. Brought to its knees by war, what Mrs. Henderson Presents brings a nation to its feet in applause.

Reviews
"Marvelously enjoyable."
- Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor
"Constantly battling, Hoskins and Dench have terrific chemistry together."
- Lou Lumenick, New York Post
"It offers a feel-good experience, but without the heavy dose of schmaltz that often accompanies such a production."
- James Berardinelli, ReelViews
"A dear film, sentimental and fond, full of beautifully acted British resolve."
- Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune
"It's funny, touching and crammed to the rafters with clever dialogue, splashy production numbers and stiff-upper-lip charm."
- William Arnold, Seattle Post-Intelligencer
