Miss Pettigrew Lives For A Day

  This film stars Frances McDormand (nominated for Academy ward in MISSISSIPPI BURNING, ALMOST FAMOUS, NORTH COUNTRY and FARGO in which she won Best Actress award) as

Guinevere Pettigrew, a middle-aged governess who has been fired 3 times from different employeers and is now destitute.  She steals the buisness card of a client of the employment agency she has been working out of in hopes of finding another governess position...but the client, Delysia Lafosse (played by Amy Adams)  is looking for a Social Secretary.  Through great co-incident Guinevere shows up at just the right moment to land the position and help her client to sort out her incredably complex and misguided life.  Miss Pettigrew, who without this position would be penniless on the street, finds herself battling personal morals in order to maintain her position but a happy ending is obtained even after her Social Secretary position is no longer needed.  Several hillarious situations...absolutely a must see movie..worth every penny and more of the price of admission.

Thanks for the review. Any senseless death in there?

yes actually there is millions of senseless deaths in this one because it is a time piece during World War 2 but none of the deaths are visible on the screen.
