MRS. HARRIS GOES TO PARIS
in partnership with the House of Dior, tells
the story of a widowed cleaning lady in 1950s London who falls madly in
love with a couture Dior dress, and

her own. After she works, starves and gambles to raise the funds to
pursue her dream, she embarks on an adventure to Paris which will change
not only her own outlook, but the very future of the House of Dior.

WHOM WILL WE MEET AT THE HOUSE OF DIOR?
As WhatToWatch writes, Lesley Manville takes the leading role of Mrs Ada Harris as the down-to-earth cleaner embarks on a life changing journey to Paris. Jason Isaacs plays Archie, while French actress Isabelle Huppert plays Claudine Colbert, a senior employee of the House of Dior who after initially being a little frosty helps Mrs Harris achieve her designer dress dream. Anna Chancellor is Lady Dant,
Ada's upper class employer in London where she first spots a Dior dress. Lambert Wilson is Marquis de Chassagne who helps Ada at the House of Dior after she arrives and is almost thrown out. Lucas Bravo plays André Fauvel the accountant at The House of Dior in love with model Natasha (Alba Baptista). André invites Mrs Harris to stay with him while she has the numerous dress fittings required for her Dior dress, and she, in turn, helps André to woo the woman of his dreams, Natasha, who at the beginning of the film sees him as nothing more than a boring accountant.

Tis a delightful trailer, indeed. Such a fun and lighthearted watch it seems. I mean, you can never go wrong when you combine Paris and couture gowns. I can’t wait to see all of the dresses they show in this.
ReplyDeleteI think the green one is the one she gets in the end. The emerald gown.
DeleteSounds like a film to play along while doing some deep clean of the house...LOL
