Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day is a delightful and fast-paced period dramedy that shows just how much a life can change in 24 hours. Frances McDormand shines as Miss Pettigrew, a down-on-her-luck governess in 1930s London, whose world is turned upside down when she crosses paths with the glamorous yet unpredictable aspiring actress Delysia Lafosse, played by Amy Adams.
What follows is a whirlwind day of cocktail parties, romantic misadventures, and high-society drama, as Miss Pettigrew gets swept into a dazzling lifestyle far beyond her imagination. With sharp wit, elegance, and plenty of heart, the film beautifully mixes screwball comedy with romance, proving that one unexpected encounter can change everything.
