I loved Miss Pettigrew Lives For A Day!!!!!!
The movie in look and feel reminded me a great deal of Mrs Henderson Presents but it's funny, a bit bawdy, very romantic and quite moving. The cast is excellent:
I hadn't seen Frances McDormand since FARGO and she's the heart of soul of the film
Amy Adams is wonderful and charming, and she gets to sing again in a kind of Monroe "I'm Through With Love"moment!
I liked Mark Strong as Mr Knightley in the BBC-Kate Beckinsale adaptation of EMMA, which I prefer to Paltrow's, and he plays the older sexy gangster type with real flare, but all of the men - Lee Pace, Ciaran Hinds, and Tom Payne - hve wonderful moments.
DR JRand57, the actress playing Katherine in the SHAKESPEARE RETOLD "Taming of the Shrew" has a wonderful role as a 1939 fashionista.
I cannot recommend this movie enough!
