I'm an unashamed lover of the movies I grew up with in the 1940s, but some remakes easily surpass earlier versions. This one does it in spades. The glossy Rita Hayworth vehicle of 1945 put it's focus on its glamorous star who was cast as one of the dancers at The Windmill. There was only a nod in the direction of the actual Mrs Henderson. No mention of nude showgirls (it's 40s Hollywood, afterall) This newer production trumps in every category. The performances, of course, but also the cinematography, the color, costumes, dialogue and the overall feeling of the period. I don't think you have to have a deep nostalgia for those years to appreciate and, quite possibly, feel a real affection for this movie.

A next movie of Indian migrants to the UK of the seventies, where a hard working teen newcomer outwits a native cute girl by preferring studying to a sex-enjoyment and manual jobs.

Moral: better watch "My Beautiful Laundrette" , where people work together.

I think that this movie is a fun, fast moving, and lots of action. I think that Patrick and Judge were outstanding. I also do enjoy that I was one of the extras in the movie AND was even the first extra listed in the credits!!! Woohoo Hollywood here I come.. only kidding about my film stardom. Not kidding about the movie. By the way, most of the movie was filmed here in Spokane, Washington. It was nice to have a movie that we could enjoy Carmen's acting, without her removing her clothing!!
