She has been fired from her last 3 jobs for gross malfeasance and no one else seems likely to hire her. In desperation she resorts to a bit of subterfuge to wrangle a job as a social secretary to Delysia Lafosse (Amy Adams), an American actress. Delysia clearly needs a social secretary (or at least some sort of professional help) in order to juggle the 3 men in her life.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/imdb.com\/title\/tt0970468\/\">Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day<\/a> is set in 1939, and it is actually the sort of screwball comedy that was popular at that time&#8211;right down to some overly broad acting. Nevertheless it is pretty funny, and anyone who has a certain fondness for that sort of movie is bound to like it.<\/p>\n<p>Amy Adams is delightful as a scatterbrained actress prepared, if necessary, to sleep her way to the top. McDormand and Ciar\u00e1n Hinds (as a jaded lingerie designer) provide a slightly more serious tone. It&#8217;s all totally implausible, but satisfying.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Guinevere Pettigrew (Frances McDormand) is a failure as a governess.
