The Last of the Blonde Bombshells

Recent widow, Elizabeth (Judi Dench), begins playing her tenor sax again, remembering back to when she was in an all-girl (almost) swing band back in the day. Encouraged by her granddaughter, she teams up with cross-dressing drummer Patrick (Ian Holm) and decides to track down the old crew for a reunion. Some aren't around anymore and some aren't mentally around anymore, but soon the group starts to take shape and with the addition of singer Gwen (Cleo Laine), it's almost like old times. Joining this classy line-up are sassy old broads June Whitfield, Leslie Caron, Billie Whitelaw, Olympia Dukakis and Joan Sims in a feel-good comedy that proves there's more than just life after 60, there's damn good fun.
