Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day (2008)
Frumpy? Yes. Dowdy? You betcha. Needs a makeover? Like you wouldn't believe. Miss Pettigrew has a problem. And lucky for her, she's found just the people to fix it.
:Plot Outline:
Guinevere Pettigrew, 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.:
Meanwhile, WWII looms on the horizon, giving a bit more heft to the film than might appear in the previews. Unless they played up that part.
The music is pretty good, with live big band stuff out of the 40s. A touching number near the end, "If I Didn't Care," is originally by an all black band called The Ink Spots. I don't know whether to laugh or cry about their name, but they made decent song.
