Judy Dench at her best, loved the story and the period of time
Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2024
This is the (mostly) true story of the Windmill Theater in London and the widow who bought it as a lark after having been widowed. She was a saucy woman who pioneered full frontal nudity on stage to entertain both men and women. The story follows her developments as she builds the theater into a legend. It is believed that the famous Moulin Rouge (French for Red Windmill) Theater in Paris became successful by patterning itself after the Windmill Theater in London. True or not, this movie is well worth watching.

The only problem I have with my purchase is that I ordered the wide screen version and got the full screen version. This was NOT Amazon's fault since the DVD package is labeled wide screen edition. No big deal.

Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2010
We bought this movie at the recommendation of a Londonwalks tour guide(neat outfit, highly recommend, btw) , after she happened to mention it during a walking tour that included Picadilly Circus. Her story intrigued us, so I ordered it when we got back.

What a fantastic movie! Judi Dench plays to perfection , Bob Hoskins is easily her equal, and I knew nothing of Will Young, but looked him up after the movie and will be buying some of his CDs. Speaking of which, I have already ordered and received the fabulous soundtrack for this movie. Soundtrack is ten thumbs up, as well.

Basic premise of the movie is that, a few years before WWII, giddy, bored, upper crust widow Dench buys a theatre on a whim, and hires Hoskins to manage it. When attendance goes south, she surprises society by incorporating nudity in her show, her ostensible reason being that Paris has the Moulin Rouge, and a stellar world city like London ought to have the same. Her real reason, of course, is surprisingly far more personal, and she is far less giddy than she lets on.

Be forewarned that there is a lot of nudity in this movie, but it is very tastefully done, since it is done in the same conventions as the era. My movie rule of thumb is, "would I watch this with my 73 year old dad?" Not only would I watch it with them, I've been begging my folks to watch it. They would love it. The nudity is incidental, yet integral to the story.

There's not really much plot to the movie, but it moves along at a good pace, there's a few tearjerking moments, the art, choreography, singing, dance, and costumes are A+, and if nothing else, it's worth it to watch Dame Judy Dench charm, rather than chew, her way through the part. She gets lovelier the older she gets, and she just lights up the screen in this period piece.

Oh, why can't all movies be this surprisingly good?

This is an instant favorite movie for me. It's a love story, a comedy, touching on history and all done with music and passion. I know I will be watching this many times over and over. The stories are interwoven in a perfect way. The acting is brilliant.

Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2011
This is a movie based on a true story in Britain during the late 1930s. Mrs. Henderson, a rich recently widowed elderly British woman. She is not the type to spend her last days watching the Dust Bunnies gather. As a personal interest she purchases and remodels an old theater.
After a successful run of a production public interest dwindles, as it always does. To recapture the public's interest and avoid the liquidation of her business she had to invent a new production with fresh ideas, thus nudity in burlesque. (As you probably know Burlesque did not start out with nude dancers or acts.)
In the 1930s nudity in a public venue except for brothels was strictly taboo. In order for her to circumvent the censorship of that period she had to incorporate nudity in her productions as an art form.
During World War II everything changed especially in Britain. During an air raid you could be jailed, if you survived, for leaving a light on and a window shade open. Large Public gatherings were forbidden to prevent mass causalities, which would overwhelm the much-stressed out public services. The public gave up everything but the bare minimum to support the troops and the war effort. That is when the motivating factor behind her business changed to entertaining the troops, as most entertainment venues did during that time. Try viewing her as the British version of a female Bob Hope.
If you're expecting a movie with a hundred thousand dollar screenplay and hundreds of millions spent to produce the movie, this is not it. Or expecting a movie which will keep you cross legged on the edge of you seat, to keep from peeing your pants, again this is not that movie.
But if you would like to view a good British movie depicting a true story during a horrible period in our history, then you will be entertained.
