Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day features Amy Adams in all her princess-ness as singer/actor, Delysia LaFosse juggling three men. Frances McDormand is the titular character who helps her Delysia sort the men until she finds her true love.
It doesn't sound appealing. It wasn't at times, but what can you ask for a Sunday matinee. I feel that this was one of those stories that old time Hollywood gave to their leading ladies to pass the time. Not the classic, but a solid sub-par A. It will fill out the bill.
McDormand must have jumped on this at the urging of her husband, Joel Coen, because this looked like one of the Coen brother period pieces they so love. Except in London, every thing was the look.
