MISS PETTIGREW LIVES FOR A DAY (2008) D-

Produced in England

If you like Broadway shows that are advertised as, "Wonderful romantic comedy, straight from the West End of London", this movie is for you. With a little of the sex removed, this would be perfect for you and your pre-teen daughter or granddaughter to see on a Saturday afternoon. The movie looks like it was lifted right from the stage.

The plot: Attractive poor girl from the wrong side of the tracks trying to make it big in show biz by sleeping with the producers son. She also has two other boyfriends. One a handsome piano player, who is her true love, and the other a night club owner who is keeping her in his magnificent flat.

Of course she ultimately ends up with her true love with the help of Miss Pettigrew. At the end of the movie, Miss Pettigrew, another down-and-outer, finds the man (rich), that can replace the man she lost in WW I. They all live happily ever after. A better name for this movie would have been PREDICTABLE.

With a name like Miss Pettigrew Lives For A Day, I should have know better . . . but I got faked out because it got a B from Yahoo Movies.

PS. The acting was interesting. When we are first introduced to the poor girl, she acted as if she was bi-polar.

Warren is retired and lives in Florida where he runs a foreign movie program for adults. He subscribes to NETFLIX and uses Rotten Tomatoes as one of the sources for selecting movies to review.

Started watching movies at about eight years old and was strongly influenced by "Fantasia" for it's combination of music and fantasy. He was profoundly impacted in his early teen years by the social content in "I AM A FUGITIVE FROM A CHAIN GANG".

As a kid he used to enter the movie house in the middle of a double feature and leave when the movie reached the part where he came in. Loved serials and was able to see most double features for ten or twenty-five cents.

A graduate of Columbia University and City College of New York (CCNY), he strongly believes that good movies . . . with mature content . . . are a significant supplement to education and insight into the world around us. No egghead, he also believes that "It's A Wonderful Life", "Young Frankenstein", "The Producers", West Side Story", and "Seven Brides For Seven Brothers" are great films.
