True
life story of the Rylstone Women's Institute in North
Yorkshire. This cancer charity has long sponsored a
calendar. Their original calendars showed lovely scenes
of the Yorkshire dales. In 1999, after one of their
husbands became ill with leukemia,the women came up
with a more commercial concept: discreet photos of these
bare WI lasses. Their calendar became a worldwide sensation,
out-selling even of Britney Spears and Cindy Crawford.

The
Monty word has already been used in relation to the
hit chances of this quirky Brit film with the usual
eccentric cast of plucky ordinary people doing something
extraordinary. Truly we are a nation of weirdos, oddballs
and compelling people. HIT ALL OVER methinks. |
