In the 1939-set romantic tale, Miss Guinevere Pettigrew (Academy Award winner Frances McDormand), a middle-aged London governess, finds herself unfairly dismissed from her job. An attempt to gain new employment catapults her into the glamorous world and dizzying social whirl of an American actress and singer, Delysia Lafosse (Academy Award nominee Amy Adams). Within minutes, Miss Pettigrew finds herself swept into a heady high-society milieu - and, by the end of the day, discovers her own romantic destiny.
REVIEWS:
----------------------------------------
"A swell adaptation of Winifred Watson's 1938 novel, which was risque for its time but just right for ours. Frothy and exuberantly entertaining - in part because of the sexual innuendoes - it's the best romantic comedy so far this year [march]." (Ruthe Stein: San Francisco Chronicle)
