Trivia

♦ The director had to ask Lee Pace to leave the set because Amy Adams admittedly was too distracted by him since “he just looked so dashing.”
♦ Amy Adams said in an interview, “I would like to see “Miss Pettigrew” on Broadway! There’s that one musical number in it now, and I think there’s room for more.”

Character’s Quotes

• Men are so untrusting. I can’t think why.
• For all the fancy apartments and fashion shows, do you know how close I am to having nothing? Every day I wake up and I think, if I make the wrong move, I could be out on that street with no clothes, no food, no job, and no friends. Just plain old Sarah Grubb again. Do you know what that’s like?
