| Starring Frances McDormand, Amy Adams
and Ciarán Hinds. In 1939 London, Miss Guinevere
Pettigrew is a middle-aged governess who finds herself
once again unfairly dismissed from her job. Without
so much as severance pay, Miss Pettigrew realizes
that she must--for the first time in two decades--seize
the day. This she does, by intercepting an employment
assignment outside of her comfort level--as "social
secretary." Arriving at a penthouse apartment
for the interview, Miss Pettigrew is catapulted into
the glamorous world and dizzying social whirl of an
American actress and singer, Delysia Lafosse. Within
minutes, Miss Pettigrew finds herself swept into a
heady high-society milieu--and, within hours, living
it up. Taking the "social secretary" designation
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: devoted
pianist Michael, intimidating nightclub owner Nick,
and impressionable junior impresario Phil. Miss Pettigrew
herself is blushingly drawn to the gallant Joe, a
successful designer who is tenuously engaged to haughty
fashion maven Edythe, the one person who senses that
the new "social secretary" may be out of
her element and schemes to undermine her. During the
next 24 hours, Guinevere and Delysia will empower
one another to discover their romantic destinies. |

ACADEMY AWARD WINNER Best Foreign Language
Film of the Year!
The true story of Salomon Sorowitsch, counterfeiter
extraordinaire and bohemian. After getting arrested
in a German concentration camp in 1944, he agrees
to help the Nazis in an organized counterfeit operation
set up to help finance the war effort. It was the
biggest counterfeit money scam of all times. Over
130 million pound sterling were printed, under conditions
that couldn't have been more tragic or spectacular.
During the last years of the war, as the German Reich
saw that the end was near, the authorities decided
to produce their own banknotes in the currencies of
their major war enemies. They hoped to use the duds
to flood the enemy economy and fill the empty war
coffers. At the Sachsenhausen concentration camp,
two barracks were separated from the rest of the camp
and the outside world, and transformed into a fully
equipped counterfeiters workshop. "Operation
Bernhard" was born. Prisoners were brought to
Sachsenhausen from other camps to implement the plan:
professional printers, fastidious bank officials and
simple craftsmen all became members of the top-secret
counterfeiter commando. They had the choice: if they
cooperated with the enemy, they had a chance to survive,
as first-class prisoners in a "golden cage"
with enough to eat and a bed to sleep in. If they
sabotaged the operation, a sure death awaited them.
For The Counterfeiters, it was not only a question
of saving their own lives, but also about saving their
conscience as well... |
