Story: |
Mrs. Laura Henderson (Judi Dench) may be a widow but she is by no means going to spend
the rest 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.
