Mrs Henderson Presents
Director: Stephen Frears
Starring: Bob Hoskins, Judi Dench
Details: UK, 103mins, 15s.
This is where Mr Vivian Van Damm (Bob Hoskins) comes on the scene. Mrs Henderson hires him to run the show for her and the pair strike up a playful partnership, resulting in their legendary nude shows. Mrs Henderson is a classic, eccentric English 'character' and even though Dench pulls her off with aplomb, she becomes rather wearing after a while. The pairing between Hoskins and Dench is an attractive and driving one, carrying the show through its gentle comedy, minor titillation and 'the show must go on' jolly, English upper lip-ness. It is an amusing, but conventional affair, which you could happily watch with your Mum over the holidays but wouldn't recommend to your mates.
