• Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day (2008)
  Starring: Frances McDormand,  Amy Adams,  Ciarán Hinds
  Director: Bharat Nalluri
  Certificate:
  Despite her own values and street smart intellect, down at heel Miss Pettigrew seems resigned to a life of drugery, having lost a run of the mill job she rather inadvertently stumbles upon a job as a social secretary for a wannabe debutante socialite who has real ambitions to be a leading actress. In true My Fair lady style she is thrust into a world entrely alien to her and has to rely on her wits to guide her through a minefield of her employers illicit rendezvous and scheming, quickly becoming the one most important and trusted confidante and guide, before again being apparently left behind to return to her previous existance, or possibly not. A really well worked film bringing the roaring 20s to life Frances McDormand (Fargo etc etc) is superb as always and Amy Adams (Enchanted) is similarly excellent. Definately worth a watch.
