If you loved Hero, try Mrs. Henderson Presents

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What Mrs. Henderson Presents is

A certain kind of British pluck gets a cheeky workout in this true-ish tale of wartime morale and bare legs.
