Directed by Stephen Frears

Film Synopsis

In the early 1940s, Florence Foster Jenkins is a New York heiress and society hostess who is convinced that she is a great opera singer.  In fact she has an atrocious singing voice, but no one in her entourage feels able to dispel her illusions. In fact, her husband and impresario, St Clair Bayfield, is doing everything within his power to ensure that Florence never learns the truth about her amazing lack of talent.  The result of this well-meaning deception is that Mrs Jenkins really does believe she a supremely gifted vocal artiste and decides it is time the world was treated to an exhibition of her unsurpassed talents.  To that end, she arranges a concert at Carnegie Hall at which she will be the star attraction.  St Clair Bayfield has his work cut out in his attempt to prevent this musical event from ending up a complete disaster.  One way or the other, the deluded Mrs Jenkins will definitely bring the roof down...
