Nigel_Cole directs the feel-good comedy Calendar Girls, based on the true story of a group of working-class British housewives who became overnight celebrities by posing for a nude calendar in order to raise more than 500-thousand pounds for a new leukemia unit. The film follows the adventures of best friends Chris Harper (Helen_Mirren) and Annie Clarke (Julie_Walters), both members of the charitable Rylstone Women's Institute in North Yorkshire. After Annie's husband John (John_Alderton) succumbs to leukemia, the friends are motivated to take some action. They convince the group to craft a tastefully nude calendar featuring the usual ladies' activities of gardening and baking, as photographed by the young amateur Lawrence (Philip_Glenister). Despite the disapproval of the Institute's leader Marie (Geraldine_James), the calendar quickly becomes a best-seller and leads the group to Hollywood. Ciaran_Hinds appears as Chris' husband Rod Harper. Andrea LeVasseur, Rovi
