Just goes to show.....age doesnt matter!! All the actresses were brilliant. Nice to see Billie Whitelaw (Of The Krays and the original Omen films). Only problem was, we didn't see enough of her!! Not forgetting Dame Judi Dench, who, as always, was excellent, and Cleo Lane, whos singing talent is second to none, as always!!
The story is about a group of women (and one man!) whom formed a band during the second world war named the Blonde Bombshells, as the film suggests!! and how they reform to play at one of the ladies granddaughters school. Exceelent acting by all and a film well worth watching with brilliant comedy undertones!!
This is a brilliant film for anyone who is old enough to remember the 2nd World War! The acting is superb, as is the music, with modern rock interspersed with the old favourites. Treatment of the subject is fondness itself, with respect for the characters yet quite modern in its attitude to those that were usually swept under the carpet! Hope that younger generations will watch it.
