British cinema prides itself on being different from Hollywood, as well it should be. This is a cute little partly-comedic historical drama. Judi Dench is wonderful in this film, and a lot of credit should go to Bob Hoskins, as well. I first saw him in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" and he had the accent down so perfectly, I just assumed that he was an American. Both of these fine actors subsumed themselves completely into their characters and made the semi-farcical believable. The photography was also quite grand, particularly the rooftop shots of London during the Blitz. The nudity was tastefully done, maybe even a bit too much. Overall, this film is most assuredly worth a rental.
