English Film For English People

Vera Drake (2004)

Starring: Imelda Staunton Directed by: Mike Leigh Rating: R Genre: Drama Other

Review Imelda Staunton (Happy Days) plays an old lady with a mole, and an interest in public health. Warning: this is NOT the Vera Drake who played the lawyer on the old Perry Mason series! I must admit I only watched the first ten minutes as I fumbled with my remote, looking for the English audio track. But what I saw looked very much like pictures of English cities I have seen in old Beatles photos. It may be just up your alley, if you're a fan of the early Beatles.
