Mrs Harris Goes to Paris (2022)
Set in Europe in the 1950s, Mrs Harris Goes to Paris tells the enchanting tale of Ada Harris, a seemingly ordinary British housekeeper whose dream to own a couture Christian Dior gown takes her on an extraordinary adventure to Paris.
As Ada, Oscar nominee Lesley Manville (Princess Margaret in The Crown) earned a Best Actress nomination at this year’s Golden Globes. Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris was also nominated for a 2022 Academy Award and a BAFTA for its costume design, among other accolades.
Based on Paul Gallico’s novel Mrs. ‘Arris Goes to Paris and directed and co-written by multiple-award winner Anthony Fabian (Skin), the film has a 94% critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with RogerEbert.com saying, “This mid-century-set treat is as pretty and heartwarming as you can imagine.”
