Dame Judi is, again, amazing...
What fun! Mrs Henderson's son died in WW I, her husband just died, and London's being bombed. What is she to do with all her upper-crust money? Why not a burlesque hall? Dame Dench, with able support from Bob Hoskins and Christopher Guest, not to mention director Stephen Frears, takes off on a romp that's full of adventure. Based on true events, there's no end of satire against the rich people. There's also no question where this woman's heart is firmly placed. With leftover love to give, freely, she embarks on a 3rd Act life journey and is rewarding to all ivolved, including the audience. Dame Judi's performance is so complete, there's nothing about her that you don't know about her at the end. I recommend this to all; it's always fun to hear classy characters (played by classy actresses) use lots of naughty words. A delightful story, with delightful performers, delivering a sweet and profound story. What's not to like?

Mrs. Henderson presents
I enjoyed this film so much on TV (HBO) that when it ended I got up, turned on my computer, found Amazon, ordered the DVD. The DVD is just as good as the TV, but you choose when you want it.

Windmill Theatre nostalgia
This DVD has been viewed with pleasure by several of my retiree friends, who are unanimous in their praise of it - as entertainment. For me there was the added pleasure of being able to turn back the clock to the 1946-1950 period when my cousin and I frequently visited the Windmill Theatre, which, at that time, had two groups of attractive dancers, performing alternate days, and changing programs every six weeks. Judi Dench added a new dimension to my recollections of that intimate theatre and its light hearted reviews.

A real gem of a movie!
Dame Judy Dench and Bob Hoskins are a wonderful pair of British showpeople who warm the hearts of British soldiers during World War II in this fact based racy film. Mrs. Henderson was a gutsy woman, a visionary who dared to buck the establishment and bring a bit of lightness and fun to the bleak days of war torn London. The film is beautiful and the acting supurb! I can still hear the music in my head and the final song about the Windmills runs through my mind all the time. I recommend this movie to all who are interested in a few hours of enjoyment. The specials on the DVD are well worth watching as well. The story of the real Mrs Henderson and the real Windmill girls is facinating.

Dame Judy Doesn't Dissapoint
I love Judy Dench. She is one of the best actors of this time. If you want a good entertaining film and are not uptight about nudity then this is a must see movie! Wish I could give it more than 5 stars.
