Last of the Blonde Bombshells, The

Aroview: Charming light drama about a recently-widowed Judi Dench who decides to revive her saxophone playing, eventually getting the idea to reunite her all-women swing band 'The Blonde Bombshells' who played in London during WWII.

The first band-member she encounters is drummer Ian Holm (who used to play in drag), with whom she teams up on a flirtatious search for the others, who are scattered far and wide (with one having ended up in prison). Nice performances from an all-star cast lift the rather unremarkable script, while the soundtrack is a pleasure for jazz buffs.
