Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day
horizontal line

[Played July 30 as part of AARP'S Movies for Grownups and available on various VOD platforms.] When a savvy, down-on-her-luck, prim-and-proper, middle-aged governess (Frances McDormand) in pre-WWII London finagles a job as a social secretary to a frazzled, gorgeous, aspiring American actress (Amy Adams) who splits her affections among a down-to-earth pianist (Lee Pace), the cocky son (Tom Payne) of a theater producer, and an arrogant cabaret lounge owner (Mark Strong) in Bharat Nalluri's engaging, wonderfully charming, well-acted, witty, 92-minute, 2008 film, she finds herself falling for a charismatic lingerie designer (CiarĂ¡n Hinds) already engaged to a two-timing dress salon owner (Shirley Henderson).
