Film review:
The world of social conflict it seems was played out in real-time lives. It is to us of this generation to be enlightened , entertained , tortured , and treated to the moral imperative of every scenario one could imagine in this film. This however is a good film for a conflict arises when a middle age women is elevated from the down and out, and in to  the position of responsibility  of social secretary to a young socialite entertainer. She among other exploits  is entertaining no less than four  betrothed. The bag ladies wit and warmth left over from better times becomes a timely referee to a complicated social setting.
The London England pre WW 2 night club affair is just the thing to get Mis Petttigrew on with her life for a day. Having been hungry ,she is ready for a humourous scene  as a planned make over for her new position involves a facial mud pack complete with cucumbers slices over her eyes , the green vegetables are eaten with glee and the make over continues.
The  position of social secretary is so well done that Miss Petttigrew solves all her benefactors difficulties in one day.,and packs her off to New York by steam ship. This with her  choice  made  among her suitors. This then ends the employment and puts Miss Pettigrew in to the train station, vagrant,  once again and eyeing half eaten fruit on the floor, for sustenance. This is redeemed in a fashion that you will have to see the film to enjoy fully.
The film has had many excellent reviews, from many great publications and is consistent in its presentation of moral imperatives twisted into dry witted comedy. There is no herk or jerk to this film just plain good fun and enjoyable from start to finish.
Irony and upset bringing together a beneficial and fitting end to convoluted situations reminds us that it is the choices we make in life that keep our life going on a keel. Any choice is better than balancing opportunities in such a way as not to be able to fully exploit any of them.
For pure comical entertainment in a dry witty enjoyable format this film rates :
✰✰✰✰ Good

Malice I think the world we leave behind will be better than when we found it.

Yes Merit leaving behind is the right term ,that’s one of my favorite rationales.

summer enjoyment

This luxury car is in the shade its a convertible, at one time convertibles were banned by the authorities as a safety hazard.  They lifted the ban  and responsible people drive so knowing that the ban was because of crush from overturn. Wearing seat belts may ormay not be   an advantage in every accident involving a convertible .  However on  probabilities they are a safety advantage. The enjoyment reason is obvious. Remember that accidents happen in a moment of time and are irrevocable. The loss can not be undone no matter how many times you watch back to the future.

This mine car came from Bralorne Mines , an old working was recently broken into by ongoing gold mining,and a number of them were found. A woman that lives here and with a family history in mining and in particular in the Britannia Beach area that hosts the British Columbia Mining Museum, was doing short-term work at the mine and was given one of them for her front yard.

The display invites public attention on Coldwater Avenue in Merritt.

MM

This item is the second such laying in the street, this person has seen. One assumes it is Medical Pot. The first was brought to the attention of the local coroner and she affirmed  in her opinion it was. She removed it. There is a health food store that advertises some form of it in a local store . The local police are fond of putting,  a most wanted add, under the add that the store runs for MM.

Remember that entrapment  defence laws exclude those  that have a predispostion for something not legal ; ie a record.

We think they may be falling from those that have motorized wheel chairs, however it does not represent a significant public interest at this time , to us here.
