The last of the blonde bombshells [videorecording (DVD)] / HBO Films in association with the BBC and Universal Television ; a Working Title TV production ; directed by Gillies MacKinnon.

Summary:

One has lost her marbles, another is dead. A third is in prison, a fourth the worse for liquor. A fifth has sworn off the devil's music and the sixth - Elizabeth - is daydreaming about reforming the band. As a teenager in the war years, Elizabeth was a sax-player with the Blond Bombshells, until a scandal blew the band apart. But now, some five decades later, encouraged by Patrick, an old rogue from her youth, she sets off in search of the survivors with a dream of recreating their former glories.
