I’m not sure if this is based on a real story but I remember hearing it is about how Mrs. Henderson revolutionized the theatre by have fully nude actresses on stage… Laura Henderson buys an old theatre, the Windmill, after the death of her husband and reopens it with the help of Vivian Van Damm a genius of the arts… when their feature turns out to be a hit… other theatres started copying them… in order to upstage the rest… Mrs. Henderson goes all out to enable fully nude actresses to be on stage for the very first time… The Windmill becomes legendary and remains open during the war when all others close…

A great movie… fantastic… usually I find this sort of movies boring but Mrs. Henderson presents is just so witty and charming… Judi Dench is superb as always… and Bob Hoskins gives that extra something to the whole story… Love it!!!
