Movie Review: Calendar Girls
The husband of a member of an English women's group falls ill with cancer. Her best friend goes to the hospital to sit with her while her man goes through treatments. While there the women complain about the terrible furniture in the waiting room. So the rather energetic friend gets the idea of making a calendar as a fund raiser for new couches. To stir up interest, the older women pose nude.
We never see any naked old lady bits in this film based on a true story. Helen Mirren stars. Mirren appeared on 60 Minutes a few years ago where she spoke about being naked on film. Early in her career she'd done quite a bit of it. The expression she used "getting your kit off" struck my funny bone.
Please check out this sweet film. North Bend and Bandon have the DVD, look in Coquille and Lakeside for the VHS.
