An inconspicuous film may occasionally appear and absolutely astound its viewers with how enjoyable it is. This is the case with Mrs. harris Goes to paris by Anthony Fabian, a lovely low-stakes adventure about the value of compassion, of all things. The 1950s-set movie, which is based on a Paul Gallico novel, would seem like a rather straightforward story in today's world of superheroes and dinosaurs in theatres. However, if viewers are willing to accept the project's saccharine sweetness, it has hidden layers and will make them smile. Mrs. harris Goes to paris, starring a wonderful Lesley Manville, is a charmingly wholesome movie and the exact essence of a "feel good" narrative.
A straightforward woman, Mrs. Ada harris (Manville) is. She spends her days cleaning for ungrateful clients and laughingly chatting with her best friend Vi after World war II left her widowed (Ellen Thomas). Ada is generally happy with her life, but after discovering a stunning couture Dior gown during one of her cleaning sessions, she now has a new objective: save money, visit paris, and purchase a dress of her own. There are several obstacles in Ada's path, not the least of which is the fact that Dior normally doesn't cater to regular ladies like her. However, her tenacity and upbeat attitude may be sufficient to persuade everyone around her—including Claudine Colbert, the stiff director of Dior—to rethink their opinions (Isabelle Huppert).
