A Touch of Class

In Rylstone, a small village in North Yorkshire, John Baker, beloved husband of Angela Baker, dies of leukemia. Angela belongs to the Women's Institute, an organization not unlike the many women's garden clubs that are all over these United States (Visiting lecturers expound on the joys of broccoli). Ms. Baker, along with the other middle-aged women in her group, comes up with the bold new idea of printing a calendar of "nude, not naked" women to raise money for the local hospital in John's honor. After all he did say that the last stage of a woman's life is her most glorious-- sort of the last rose of summer motif-- because she will soon turn to seed. These good women became an overnight sensation as it was a photo shot heard around the world. Their story was the basis for the tasteful film "Calendar Girls," starring Helen Mirren as Chris Harper, "Miss January" and the driving force behind the concept in the first place, and Julie Walters as Annie Clark, and directed by Nigel Cole. The Brits do this sort of understated classy film so well. We need look no further than the recent "Mrs. Henderson Presents" and "The Queen" for evidence. The acting here is flawless, the photography is excellent and all the props the nude ladies use to make themselves less naked are appropriately placed.

Included on the DVD are interviews with both the director and the original twelve calendar ladies, neither of which should be missed.

Calendar Girls

Love movies that don't have young, hot looking women. It's a pleasure to see movies about every day women in their lives.

Top cast

Great movie. Helen Mirren, Julie Walters and more of Britain's top cast.
How a nude calender can be sofisticated.

Calendar Girls is wonderful!!

Fascinating story of efforts to raise money in the most unconventional way possible - a nude calendar of middle-aged women. Loved the way it was done, the story line and the actresses. The sublety used for the photography is fantastic. Plan to enjoy it for many years to come.

Adorable

Both my mother and I loved it. If you don't mind a little 'mature' female nudity the storyline is sweet and at time hysterical. The performances show a broad range of emotions. It's a great movie to watch when you just want to relax.
