Mrs Henderson Presents
Mrs Henderson Presents (2005)

IMDB rating: 7.20

Plot: Recently widowed well-to-do Laura Henderson is at a bit of a loose end in inter-war London. On a whim she buys the derelict Windmill theatre in the West End and persuades impresario Vivian Van Damm to run it, despite the fact the two don’t seem to get on at all. Although their idea of a non-stop revue is at first a success, other theatres copy it 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 Mrs Henderson is friends with him.

How true is the story depicted in the movie "Mrs. Henderson Presents"?


If you watch the special features they show some of the actual "girls".
It was a really good movie.

quite true

I think there really was an actual Mrs. Henderson who did own the only theater to stay open in London during the blitz and did show unclothed ladies so the story is fairly accurate. I’m sure some exaggeration and dramatization was done but the underlying story is true.

he would climb balconies,climb everywhere,do anything for her,
oh danny boy
thousands of birds,the tiniest birds,adorned her hair.
everything was gold.
one night the bed caught fire.
he was handsome and a very good criminal.
we lived on sunlightand chocolate bars.
it was the afternoon ofextravagant delight,
danny the daredevil, candy went missing
the days last rays of sunshine cruiselike sharks
i want to try it your way this time,
you came into my lifereally fast and i liked it
we squelched in the mud of our joy.
i was wet thighed with surrender.
then there was agapin things and the whole earth tilted.
this is the business
this is what we
