The true story of Laura Henderson, an eccentric British socialite who opened the Windmill Theatre in London in 1931. Following her husband's death, eccentric 70-year-old widow Mrs Henderson purchases a redundant cinema and remodels it to create the Windmill Theatre in London as a post-widowhood hobby. Henderson has a hit on her hands when she decides to add beautiful nude women to the stage shows at her Windmill Theatre. Though they are touched by tragedy, Henderson and her company bravely keep the theatre active during the 1940-'41 Blitz of London
Starring Dame Judi Dench and Bob Hoskins.
