Mrs. Henderson Presents (2005)

Poster for Mrs. Henderson Presents

The show must go on, but the clothes must come off.

Eccentric 70-year-old widow purchases the Windmill Theatre in London as a post-widowhood hobby. After starting an innovative continuous variety review, which is copied by other theaters, they begin to lose money. Mrs. Henderson suggests they add female nudity similar to the Moulin Rouge in Paris.
