Florence Foster Jenkins hits cinemas this Friday 6th May, and courtesy of Pathé, here's the very first clip from the film, where Florence (played by Oscar winner Meryl Streep) takes her first singing lesson and her raw talent is finally revealed...the voice of an angel is born.
And here's a special #FlorenceGotTalent TV Commercial that aired on ITV’s Britain’s Got Talent on Saturday 30th May.
The comedy drama directed by Stephen Frears (Philomena, The Queen) tells the inspirational true story of the eponymous New York heiress who obsessively pursued her dream of becoming a great singer. The film celebrates the human spirit, the power of music and the passion of amateurs everywhere.
The voice Florence (Streep) heard in her head was divine, but to the rest of the world it was hilariously awful. At private recitals, her devoted husband and manager, St Clair Bayfield (Grant), managed to protect Florence from the truth. But when Florence decided to give her first public concert at New York’s Carnegie Hall, St Clair realised he had perhaps bitten off more than he could chew.
