I missed seeing her a few years back when she appeared in Branson, MO for a couple of years (I lived in the area, but was unable to attend). Two of my favorite movies featuring the actress are "Finian's Rainbow" and "Goodbye Mr. Chips". Great performances in both films by Petula among others in her career.
