Florence Foster Jenkins
Synopsis
The voice Florence Foster Jenkins 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, 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.
