| Calendar Girls is a British
film of 2003, based on the true story of a group of Yorkshire women who produce a nude calendar to raise money for
charity, under the auspices of the Women's
Institute.
The film stars Helen Mirren and Julie Walters. It also features John Alderton, Annette Crosbie, Ciaran Hinds, Celia Imrie, Geraldine James and Penelope Wilton.
Calendar Girls was inspired by the story of a similar real life nude calendar
produced by the members of the Rylstone
Women's Institute in Yorkshire, England.
The film is a feel-good comedy based on the emphatically "amateur" status of the
eponymous Calendar Girls, in humourous contrast to the professional models who appear in most calendars and pinups.
Tagline: They dropped everything for a good cause.
