It should have been a musical – Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day
Work has me playing catch up on a lot of movies lately. I finally sat down to watch the charming period comedy Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day. The film stars Amy Adams as an actress who hires the out of work governance Miss Pettigrew (France McDormand) to help her juggle three male…ahem…suitors. Most of the time, I sat there waiting for the characters to break into song. It feels like it should be a musical–Mary Poppins with a wink and a nod. Then one scene confirmed it.
Attention Broadway producers: There’s smash musical just sitting there waiting for you.
