From time to time four old friends, all extraordinary actresses, Eileen Atkins, Judi Dench, Joan Plowright & Maggie Smith meet up in the English countryside to gossip, to remember and to laugh. For once they let the cameras in.

NOTHING LIKE A DAME is a unique celebration of the lives and careers of these four iconic actresses. All four have gone from being fledgling actresses in the 1950s to acting royalty. They’ve watched each other’s careers grow and bloom and have celebrated life’s ups and downs together. We invite you to spend time with these acting legends as they talk about their lives and their professional experiences across Theatre, Television and Film.  Directed by Roger Michell (My Cousin Rachel, Notting Hill), the film also includes a range of astonishing archive material.  Candid, funny, caustic, irreverent, poignant and utterly engrossing, this unmissable release is proof that there is truly nothing like a Dame...
