Introduction:

Set in London just prior to the onset of World War II, the film focuses on middle-aged, strait-laced vicar’s daughter and governess Guinevere Pettigrew (Frances McDormand), who has just been fired from her fourth job. When the head of the employment agency (Stephanie Cole) implies she no longer will assist her, the homeless and destitute Miss Pettigrew absconds from the office with an assignment intended for a colleague, unaware flamboyant American singer/actress Delysia Lafosse (née Sarah Grubb) (Amy Adams) is seeking a social secretary rather than a nanny.

Arriving at the luxurious penthouse apartment where Delysia is ensconced, Miss Pettigrew quickly discovers the younger woman is involved with three men - penniless but devoted pianist Michael Pardew (Lee Pace), who has just been released from prison; wealthy and controlling Nick Calderelli (Mark Strong), who owns the nightclub where she presently is performing; and young theatre impresario Phil Goldman (Tom Payne), who is in a position to cast her in the lead role in a West End production. As she tries to help Delysia sort through her various affairs, Miss Pettigrew is swept up into the world of high society. She is given a makeover by her new employer, and at a fashion show hosted by fashion maven Edythe Dubarry (Shirley Henderson), she meets and finds herself attracted to successful lingerie designer Joe Blomfield (Ciarán Hinds), who’s involved in a tempestuous relationship with Edythe.
