"A conversational feast with four acting Dames-Maggie Smith, Judi Dench, Eileen Atkins and Joan Plowright-who are not above profane fun and confessions that make them human. Don't miss the chance to bask in the pleasure of their company. " - Rolling Stone

“Nothing Like a Dame is a real tonic. If you have any love for the art of acting, this filmed conversation among four eminent women veterans of Britain’s film and stage scene will banish the blues.
“The quartet are Judi Dench, Maggie Smith, Eileen Atkins and Joan Plowright. The titular “dames” is not used loosely – all four have had the honorific officially bestowed on them.
“The director, Roger Michell (Notting Hill), obviously realized what he had on his hands - gold - and opted to keep it simple by turning a camera on the women as they sat at a table, and just letting them go. Some film clips and archival footage of stage work are included, but mostly it’s conversation of an intensely entertaining kind.
“The temptation in reviewing Nothing Like a Dame is simply to reprint verbatim snippets of their marvelous conversation, but you need to see these amazing women deliver their verbal sallies: You will be reminded why they are dames.” - San Francisco Chronicle
