Description
Set in 1939 London, this sophisticated and heartfelt comedy stars Frances McDormand as Miss Guinevere Pettigrew, a middle-aged governess who is catapulted into the glamorous and dizzying world of an American actress and singer, Delysia Lafosse (Amy Adams). Taking her "social secretary" assignment to heart, she tries to help her new friend Delysia navigate a love life and career, both of which are complicated by the three men in Delysia's orbit: a devoted pianist (Lee Pace), an intimidating nightclub owner (Mark Strong) and an impressionable junior impresario (Tom Payne). Miss Pettigrew herself is blushingly drawn to the gallant Joe (Ciarán Hinds), a successful designer who is tenuously engaged to haughty fashion maven Edythe (Shirley Henderson)—the one person who senses that the new "social secretary" may be out of her element, and schemes to undermine her. Over the next 24 hours, Guinevere and Delysia will empower each other to discover their romantic destinies.
