As in MRS. HENDERSON PRESENTS and BEING JULIA, this period comedy brings wit and style to it's depiction of 1930s London. Based on Winifred Watson's novel, MISS PETTIGREW LIVES FOR A DAY begins with the title character, a frumpy governess winningly played by Frances McDormand (FARGO), being turned away from her employment agency. After losing her job prospects and all her earthly possessions in a mishap, Guinevere Pettigrew isn't sure where her next meal is coming from. Director: Bharat Nalluri Star: Frances McDormand, Amy Adams, Ciaran Hinds, Shirley Henderson, Running Time: 92 minutes.Reviews:
"Based on the 1938 novel by Winifred Watson" are not words that routinely translate into Sex and the City caliber profit. And that's perfectly okay. Frances McDormand and "next Julia Roberts" herself Amy Adams co-star in this well-received adaptation, in which the eponymous uptight governess (McDormand) finds herself embroiled in the love life of a colleague's promiscuous client (Adams). The film is an underrated treat, rife with innuendo and wit.
