The Windmill Theater becomes her game and the infamous showman Vivian Van Dam becomes her partner and fiercest opponent. The Germans are bombing London but the roar of the Windmill is all that can be heard, as Laura convinces Lord Cromer to allow her actresses to be the one thing no one could ever imagine: Nude. Brought to its knees by war, what Mrs. Henderson Presents brings a nation to its feet in applause. Review: Looks Good - Love Kelly Reily and had heard that this a good movie to watch Review: Discovered by Accident, Thoroughly Enjoyed - We bought this movie at the recommendation of a Londonwalks tour guide(neat outfit, highly recommend, btw) , after she happened to mention it during a walking tour that included Picadilly Circus. Her story intrigued us, so I ordered it when we got back. What a fantastic movie! Judi Dench plays to perfection , Bob Hoskins is easily her equal, and I knew nothing of Will Young, but looked him up after the movie and will be buying some of his CDs. Speaking of which, I have already ordered and received the fabulous soundtrack for this movie. Soundtrack is ten thumbs up, as well. Basic premise of the movie is that, a few years before WWII, giddy, bored, upper crust widow Dench buys a theatre on a whim, and hires Hoskins to manage it. When attendance goes south, she surprises society by incorporating nudity in her show, her ostensible reason being that Paris has the Moulin Rouge, and a stellar world city like London ought to have the same. Her real reason, of course, is surprisingly far more personal, and she is far less giddy than she lets on. Be forewarned that there is a lot of nudity in this movie, but it is very tastefully done, since it is done in the same conventions as the era. My movie rule of thumb is, "would I watch this with my 73 year old dad?" Not only would I watch it with them, I've been begging my folks to watch it. They would love it. The nudity is incidental, yet integral to the story. There's not really much plot to the movie, but it moves along at a good pace, there's a few tearjerking moments, the art, choreography, singing, dance, and costumes are A+, and if nothing else, it's worth it to watch Dame Judy Dench charm, rather than chew, her way through the part. She gets lovelier the older she gets, and she just lights up the screen in this period piece. Oh, why can't all movies be this surprisingly good? ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000ETRCN0 | | Actors | Dench, Judi, Guest, MR Christopher, Hoskins, Bob, Reilly, Kelly, Young, Father William | | Aspect Ratio | 1.78:1 | | Best Sellers Rank | #22,314 in Movies & TV ( See Top 100 in Movies & TV ) #230 in Military & War (Movies & TV) #2,529 in Comedy (Movies & TV) #3,293 in Drama DVDs | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (551) | | Director | Frears, Stephen, Hoskins, Bob Frears | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item model number | WENC79099DVD | | Language | English (Dolby Digital 5.1), Unqualified | | MPAA rating | R (Restricted) | | Media Format | Color, Dolby, Multiple Formats, NTSC, Subtitled, Widescreen | | Number of discs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 0.7 x 7.5 x 5.4 inches; 2.88 ounces | | Release date | April 18, 2006 | | Run time | 1 hour and 43 minutes | | Studio | Cinedigm - Uni Dist Corp | | Subtitles: | English, Spanish | ## Product Details - **Format:** Color, Dolby, Multiple Formats, NTSC, Subtitled, Widescreen - **Genre:** Comedy - **Language:** English - **Runtime:** 1 hour and 43 minutes ## Images ![Mrs. Henderson Presents - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/8140o8StAYL.jpg) ![Mrs. Henderson Presents - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91r7FWnykAL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Looks Good *by T***N on November 22, 2025* Love Kelly Reily and had heard that this a good movie to watch ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Discovered by Accident, Thoroughly Enjoyed *by S***G on December 5, 2010* We bought this movie at the recommendation of a Londonwalks tour guide(neat outfit, highly recommend, btw) , after she happened to mention it during a walking tour that included Picadilly Circus.

Oh, why can't all movies be this surprisingly good? ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A very entertaining movie based on a true story during the 30s and WW II. *by B***B on October 2, 2011* This is a movie based on a true story in Britain during the late 1930s. Mrs. Henderson, a rich recently widowed elderly British woman. She is not the type to spend her last days watching the Dust Bunnies gather. As a personal interest she purchases and remodels an old theater. After a successful run of a production public interest dwindles, as it always does. To recapture the public's interest and avoid the liquidation of her business she had to invent a new production with fresh ideas, thus nudity in burlesque. (As you probably know Burlesque did not start out with nude dancers or acts.) In the 1930s nudity in a public venue except for brothels was strictly taboo. In order for her to circumvent the censorship of that period she had to incorporate nudity in her productions as an art form. During World War II everything changed especially in Britain. During an air raid you could be jailed, if you survived, for leaving a light on and a window shade open. Large Public gatherings were forbidden to prevent mass causalities, which would overwhelm the much-stressed out public services. The public gave up everything but the bare minimum to support the troops and the war effort. That is when the motivating factor behind her business changed to entertaining the troops, as most entertainment venues did during that time. Try viewing her as the British version of a female Bob Hope. If you're expecting a movie with a hundred thousand dollar screenplay and hundreds of millions spent to produce the movie, this is not it. Or expecting a movie which will keep you cross legged on the edge of you seat, to keep from peeing your pants, again this is not that movie. But if you would like to view a good British movie depicting a true story during a horrible period in our history, then you will be entertained. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/6310692-mrs-henderson-presents](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/6310692-mrs-henderson-presents) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
