Florence Foster Jenkins Taking Hugh for Granted

Join Oscar and Diggory in covering your ears to block out the sound of the truly awful singer Florence Foster Jenkins (Stephen Frears, 2016). 

Based on a true story, legendary New York heiress and socialite Florence Foster Jenkins (played by Meryl Streep), obsessively pursues her dream of becoming a great opera singer. The voice she hears in her head is beautiful, but to everyone else it is hilariously awful. Her "husband" and manager, St Clair Bayfield (played by Hugh Grant), is determined to protect his beloved Florence from the truth. But when Florence decides to give a public concert at Carnegie Hall in 1944, St Clair knows he faces his greatest challenge.
