"...Laura Henderson (Judi Dench) embarks on her newest adventure: the transformation of an old movie theater into the Windmill, a space that will host, of all things, a nude musical revue…"
Being a guy, this certainly caught my interest. The movie stars, as previously mentioned, Judi Dench, who has been busy over the past few years. She starred in several of the previous James Bond movies and in Notes on a Scandal, which was reviewed here recently. The movie also stars Bob Hoskins, Eddie of Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Oh, and I should mention that it also stars about a dozen beautiful young ladies who get naked.Now don't get me wrong. This movie is no Show Girls. The nudity is mostly from afar, non-sexual and short in length. If one can buy this, it is tasteful nudity - what you might expect in a artistic photography book.
The movie is based on a true story. It is set in World War II London. The city is under the anxiety of constant nightly bombing raids from the Germans. Mrs. Henderson decides to put on this nude review as a classy alternative to the nude underground and the boring stodgy shows that currently exist. She opens The Windmill Theatre.
Mrs. Henderson has an awesome sense of humor and sets her British counterparts into a tizzy. I definitely got a great laugh from the conversations that she had. The dialog is great.
Other than seeing Bob Hoskins totally nude, I loved this movie. I gave it 4 stars.
