About Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day
London, England, on the eve of World War II. Guinevere Pettigrew, a strict governess who is unable to keep a job, is fired again. Lost in the hostile city, a series of fortunate circumstances lead her to meet Delysia LaFosse, a glamorous and dazzling American jazz singer whose life is a chaos ruled by indecision, a continuous battle between love and fame.
Directed by Bharat Nalluri, Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day leans on a strong ensemble — Frances McDormand, Amy Adams, Lee Pace — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2008.
