  • ""At the height of the second world war, The Blonde Bombshells helped keep the spirit of the nation alive. With their swing tunes and sultry good looks they offered a glamorous respite from the shrill of the air raid sirens. This is how Elizabeth, the youngest and most talented Bombshell, recalls those times. And when her husband dies fifty years on, she's determined to recapture the same spirit. A chance encounter with Patrick - the only male member of the band - gives her the idea of reforming the band. But Elizabeth and Patrick quickly discover, life has taken its toll on this collection of very different people."--Case slick""

  • ""After her husband's death, a widow (Judy Dench) decides she wants to re-kindle her musical roots. Encouraged by her grand-daughter, she seeks out the almost all-female [swing] band [called the Blonde Bombshells, with which] she played [tenor saxophone] during World War II. The one non-female in the troop was a cross-dressing drummer (Ian Holm) with whom she still is friends. With his help, they start tracking down their old cronies, and find some dead and some mentally incompetent. Slowly the band grows, but their sound is lacking. When the singer (Cleo Laine) is added to the mix, everything comes together"--Internet movie database summary by John Sacksteder, as viewed on November 29, 2006."
