Cannes Film Festival...$30,000 per table; mingle with Prince Albert!

Yesterday, I received a notice that Blue Group has two tables available for a prestigious Film Festival event next week on the Riviera, in France.

A handful of the well-heeled tony elite will join Prince Albert and his VIP guests for a unique evening at the exclusive Greenhouse in Cannes, Thursday May 15th.

The private dinner for VIP's is being tossed in aid of the celebrated "Prince Albert of Monaco Foundation".

Expected attendees at the gala dinner include: President Sarkozy, Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie, Bono, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Shania Twain, Paz Vega, Quentin Tarantino, Emile Hirsch, Steven Spielberg, Edward Norton, and others.

The price tag for one table at the exclusive upscale event?

$30,000.00. (U.S. funds)

Each table seats ten people (with ample leg room, I expect); so - if you're short on cash - get your buddies to divvy up!

The prestigious A-list spot in the inner circle includes six bottles of premium liquor to quench the most discerning thirst.
(Vodka & Champagne).

Soda & Juice? Extra, I guess!

Since you'll get to mingle with the celebrated elite, why not splurge?

Well, it is inclined to be "the" ultimate soiree to schmooze at.

But, exhibit some class - please!

Leave the 8 X 10 glossy publicity stills at home and forgo on the tendency to scramble for autographs for the kids as you circulate the high-profile room.

Blue Group is an innovative exclusive high-end provider of creative VIP showbiz entertainment events in the UK and US.

According to Bespoke spokesperson, "Life is short".

Ritzy Riviera beckons...

Ms. Pettigrew...charming entertaining musical with great cast!

Ms. Pettigrew gets a leg up...


Ms. Pettigrew is an entertaining period piece which does not disappoint.

Set in London, just prior to the outbreak of World War II, the musical comedy is obviously an homage to the smart screwball comedies of yesteryear tailored for the likes of screen greats Cary Grant, Katherine Hepburn, and Spencer Tracy.

The film - adapted for the screen by David Magee and Simon Beaufoy (based on the 1938 Novel by Winifred Watson) - moves along at a fast clip, buttressed at times by catchy big band instrumentals which tend to get the foot tapping and elicit wide goofy smiles to the face.

Care to dance, anyone?

Frances McDormand (FARGO) turns in a delicious (yet poignant) multi-faceted performance which tugs at the heartstrings on occasion.

From the get-go, it is evident that the cast that buoys her up throughout the romantic comedy are seasoned pros, too. Without doubt, a handful of the talented thespians who parade across the screen sprang from a rigorous theatrical background on the stage.

It shows!

The pacing is good, and the comedic timing right on the money, as well.

The production values are both lavish and visually stunning; in part, due to all the exquisite details - from the Art Deco-inspired sets - to the scrumptious eye-catching fashions of the era.

In a nutshell, Ms. McDormand plays a down-on-her-luck governess desperate for a job.

Seizing upon a golden opportunity for gainful employment in an upper crust section of town, Ms. Pettigrew is suddenly thrust headlong into the intrigues of her new mistress - a scatterbrained Starlet - torn between the urge for love and the lure of a promising career.

It appears that the invisible hand of God is at work (Pettigrew is the daughter of a man of the cloth, after all) and that McDormand's character has found her true calling.

Her selfless acts of kindness not only set a handful of the dizzy characters on the right path, but effect a miraculous healing in the process.

In true Hollywood style, love's crush descends on Ms. Pettigrew, too.

To cynics, it is sheer fantasy.

To others, a dream worth pining for.
