Nudity. Variety. High Society.
Mrs. Laura Henderson (Judi Dench) may be a widow but she is by no means going to spend the rest her days playing bridge. The Windmill Theatre becomes her raison d'etre and the notorious showman Vivian Van Dam (Bob Hoskins) becomes her business partner and fiercest opponent. The Germans are bombing London but the roar of the Windmill is all that can be heard as Mrs Henderson convinces Lord Cromer (Christopher Guest) to allow her actresses to be the one thing no one could ever imagine: nude! Brought to its knees by war, the non-stop revue 'Mrs. Henderson Presents' brings a nation to its feet in applause...

Mrs Henderson Presents follows the later years of one Mrs Henderson, who after losing her husband, decides to buy an old theatre.
But aswell as having to suffer with the roller coaster ride that is show business, she must also control her feelings towards Vivian Van Damm, her creative director, who hasnt been entirely honest with regards to his marrital status, much to Mrs Hendersons disappointment.
This movie is full of catchy chorus lines which would be completely at home in the 1930's/40's, and Judy Dench plays the part of the rebellious Mrs Henderson with true Dench style.
A little nudity never hurt anybody.
