Recently widowed and well-to-do Laura Henderson needs a diversion to see her through war torn London. On a whim she buys the derelict Windmill theatre in the West End and persuades impresario Vivian Van Damm to run it. The two don't seem to get along at all. Although their idea of a non-stop revue is at first a success, other theatres begin to copy the idea and disaster looms. Laura suggests they put nudes in the show, but Van Damm points out that the Lord Chamberlain, who licenses live shows in Britain, is likely to have something to say about this. Luckily for Laura, she is friends with him.

Mrs. Henderson... submitted by hcf on July 28, 2014, 10:45am Cute movie

Such a gem submitted by majean on July 3, 2019, 11:35am Heck of a cast tells an interesting story about a piece of history of which I was not previously aware. Full of humor and heart, and I love the costumes!

lame. submitted by Tassos on October 16, 2019, 2:25pm Had seen it before so I did not bother.

Good production submitted by teri on August 20, 2020, 9:58am An interesting movie - especially with Judi Dench! Based on a true story, the set is London, 1931.
Great acting and costumes. Mrs. Henderson was quite forward-thinking for her time.
