Miss Pettigrew Lives For a Day

Welcome to Episode 7 of Season 2 of Adapted with Anna and Sam! In this episode, Anna and Sam dig into the Hollywoodization of Miss Pettigrew Lives For a Day, by Winifred Watson, which was made into a movie starring Frances McDormand and Amy Adams in 2008. Giggle along as they debate that Hollywood trope of love or money, the trouble with aspiring 1930s actresses, and if Lee Pace's looks should matter (spoiler alert: of course they do, he's gorgeous, he should always win).

You can find all the cast lists and other fun trivia on iMDB.

Purchase the book and/or movies at Amazon and/or Barnes and Noble, or your favorite indie bookstore, or borrow from your local library in person or via Overdrive.
