Marion is the soloist in a choir for old people led by Elizabeth, a lively but unconventional choir-mistress. When Marion is taken ill, her beloved husband Arthur grudgingly her place, even though he’s far from happy at the idea of singing. At odds with his son James, it is down to Elizabeth to try and persuade Arthur that he can learn to embrace life and help him confront the undercurrents of his own grumbling persona as he embarks on a hilarious, life-affirming journey of musical self-discovery.
The director Paul Andrew William creates a charming and life-affirming comedy. The film features a stellar cast which include Vanessa Redgrave and Terence Stamp. This is a truly moving films with fantastic performances from all involved.
Also included in this film are the crowd-pleasing, tear-jerking elements of Calender Girls, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel and Quartet.
