Dames Judi Dench (Philomena), Maggie Smith (The Lady in the Van), Eileen Atkins (TV's Cranford) & Joan Plowright (Enchanted April) talk about their acting experiences across the ages in this documentary from Roger Michell (My Cousin Rachel, Notting Hill). Released under the title Nothing Like a Dame in the UK and US.
Roger Michell helms a delightful documentary celebrating British acting legends Dames Judi Dench, Maggie Smith, Joan Plowright and Eileen Atkins. Friends since the 1950s, this is the first time all four have appeared on screen together, taking tea at Plowright’s country home to reminisce about their long careers.

Candid, insightful and unpredictable, (the Dames) are not only acting legends but also great friends. And a treat to hang out with.

Can there be any sight more English than Dames Judi Dench, Maggie Smith, Eileen Atkins and Joan Plowright sitting bickering in a garden overlooking the Sussex countryside?
