      The incognito Mrs. Henderson, dressed as a dancing polar bear, was played by Dame Judi Dench, and not a stunt double.
    • Goofs
      Laura Henderson's husband died in 1919, she purchased the Palais de Luxe and turned it into the Windmill Theatre in 1931, and introduced the nude "tableaux vivants" in 1932. The movie depicts all these events as occurring after 1937.
    • Quotes

      Laura Henderson: [at Mrs. Henderson's husband's funeral] I'm bored with widowhood.

      Lady Conway: My dear, you've just scratched the surface.

      Laura Henderson: I have to smile at everybody. I've never had to smile at everybody. In India, there were always people to look down on.

      Lady Conway: People are merely being sympathetic. After all, you have lost your husband.

      Laura Henderson: Well I didn't mislay him! It was most inconsiderate of Robert to die. What on earth am I supposed to do now?

    Delightful and feisty--the film and its star...
    This film is a lot of fun. Judi Dench is great to watch as a brash, rich, sometimes naive woman who buys a theater as a hobby after her husband's death. She adds fire and life to every scene she's in and has a superb on screen rapport with Bob Hoskins.

    The nudity is handled very well. The audience was completely silent when the girls first appeared in all their God-given glory. I think that no one wanted to be heard reacting in any way. But after a while the nudity in the film became as secondary to the story as it did to the audience. There are characters and their relationships that you care about and then WWII starts up with all of Hitler's insanity. They become the real focal points.

    If you go to the movie knowing what you're in for, you'll have a wonderful time. It is well-done and has a good story with terrific actors. There are some lines that are very, very funny. Audience members of all ages were clapping when it was finished and you will too.
