Miss Marie Lloyd, Queen of the Music Hall (2007) short review

A BBC miniseries following the rise and fall of one of the most famous music hall performers of all time.

The main issue is that the lead actress plays Marie from about age 18 to her 40s-50s — and she just isn’t convincing as young Marie.
