Mrs. Harris, a London cleaning woman and a new widower, decides she is going to save up her money to purchase a Christian Dior dress from Paris. As she stays in Paris, her determination and her love for life offer refreshment to the upper society, especially those weary of its demands. I watched this with my oldest son and my husband. Unfortunately, we had to fast-forward a part where show girls and men were dancing with hardly any clothing on. I don't know why this backdrop to a dinner outing had to be included.
A sweet, uplifting story how an ordinary person can cause extraordinary changes. It also focuses on valuing people for who they are, not their social class or what occupation they hold.
*Highly recommend for adults. See warning.
Based on a book Mrs. 'Arris Goes to Paris by Paul Gallico.
Warning: minimal swearing, one man has many "nieces" who visit him (he is married), drinking/smoking, show girls wearing just a bra/underwear-type covering & show men dancing with them.
-Borrowed from the library.
