This charming and light doc also goes by the name “Tea with the Dames,“ which is a more accurate title. We viewers have been invited to tea in the English countryside with four hugely talented and accomplished multi-award winning actresses, who are each, literally, a Dame, as decreed by the Queen — Judy Dench, Maggie Smith, Eileen Atkins and Joan Plowright. By turns witty — especially Maggie and Judy — sweet and nostalgic, we hear about their challenges as women making the climb up to the highest rungs of the showbiz ladder, as well as moments from their lives as individuals, mothers and wives. Enjoyable archival footage.
