comically retelling highlights, as well as lowlights, of their respective careers.\u00a0 Their conversation is unscripted and occasionally slips into being comically irreverent.\u00a0 Inner most thoughts and secrets are revealed such as <strong>Dame Atkins<\/strong> passing on playing <strong>Cleopatra<\/strong> because she felt she wasn\u2019t pretty enough.\u00a0 An archival clip comes up of a young <strong>Dame Judi Dench<\/strong> playing that part.\u00a0 Vintage footage is shown throughout the film including scenes from <strong>Dame Dench\u2019s<\/strong> performances in <strong>\u201cRoots,\u201d \u201cSchool for Scandal,\u201d<\/strong> and <strong>\u201cRomeo &amp; Juliet.\u201d<\/strong> She also remembered that when she played <strong>Cecily<\/strong> in <strong>\u201cThe Importance of Being Ernest,\u201d<\/strong> \u201cI kept forgetting my lines.\u201d\u00a0 There are also clips of her playing different queens including, <strong>\u201cHer Majesty,
