We watched Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day
tonight, and it's another NetFlix recommendation that was dead
on. The You Tube scene will suffer out of its context, and flat
sound, but I loved this rendition of "If I cared."
Pettigrew stars Frances McDormand
in the title role, and Amy Adams as the sweet, but not so wholesome
ingénue. Set in 1938 London, it appeared early on to be a
farce, but soon settled into what it is - an old fashioned drama about
girl meets boy, and boy, and another boy, and then Miss Pettigrew.
Odd that I felt comfortable with this film, which back-drop is the
certainty of the coming war, and the uncertainty it portends.
It's not Mrs. Miniver, but did make me think of it, didn't it? A
lot of you will like it. If you rent the DVD, watch the
back-story about its origin. The author was a
knockout.
