#1 Cheap Mrs. Henderson Presents (Widescreen Edition) Reviews
Special Price Today Go To Store!! (Limited Time Offer)
Though I expected this is a R-rated movie and other peoples' reviews made it sound like a interesting movie, I will still have to say some of the nude scene is a bit embarrasement to share with my girlfriend. The actor and actress are no doubt excellent in their performance. The effort the director put in is obvious to seperate this movie from the normal adult movie. Stressing the art part and convincing the young woman to post nude is not an easy job. The nude part for the male actors are brief enough to make the ponint, frankly, not much worth watching. The movie truly reflects a time of breaking through in the show business with a very sad reasons behind. It helps me to understand the English people better. I like the music very much. The only bad part is that I can not share the movie with my parents or relative without some worries about what they think about me. This is a great movie for someone who can view it from the realistsic point of human nature and appreciation a great cinema art.
Mrs. Henderson Presents (Widescreen Edition) Overview
Academy Award winner1 Judi Dench (Shakespeare in Love) received her fifth Oscar® nomination for her saucy, hilarious performance in Mrs. Henderson Presents. Laura Henderson (Dench) may be a widow in London but she is certainly not going to spend the rest of her days playing bridge. In a time when England is brought to its knees by war, she brings a nation to its feet in applause—with a live show featuring nude girls! Dench and Academy Award nominee2 Bob Hoskins have won critics’ hearts in this stylish gem that Joe Morgenstern from The Wall Street Journal calls "one of the wittiest comedies to come our way in a very long time!" "Two hours of relentless, heart-pounding pleasure." - Rex Reed, The New York Observer 1Best Supporting Actress, Shakespeare in Love 2Best Actor, Mona Lisa
rich widow's hobby or soldiers delight? - R. Bagula - Lakeside, Ca United States
After her husband dies a widow searches for something to do
and finds a theater that she went to with her husband closed down,
being rich she buys it and hires a wise old fellow to manage it.
Starting with a musical review they are initially successful,
but others copy their style. she hits on the idea of female nudity
and gets the ok from the Lord Chamberlain
if they are like still paintings and not
strippers. This rule of government over theaters in London
goes back to the days of Shakespeare as we see in
Shakespeare in Love (Miramax Collector's Series).
Women at that time weren't allowed to play womens roles.
Some times one wonders after seeing the current crop of romantic comedies
if we have really made progress or maybe regressed?
Here the nude girls are a great hit and the Festival of Arts-Laguna Beach
is an imitation of this tableaux vivants style of presentation.
The result is a somewhat funny movie about real events during WWII in London.
