Hey there, movie lovers! Grab your coziest blanket and settle in, because I’ve got a little gem of a film to share with you, Mrs. Harris Goes To Paris. I remembered hearing about the movie when watching the Oscars last year and thinking, “what an fun name for a movie,” so when I saw it was added to Netflix, I had to give it a watch!
Picture this: it’s 1957, and Mrs. Ada Harris, an absolute sweetheart of a character, has her heart set on traveling to Paris to buy herself a Dior dress. What follows is an adventure that’s heartfelt and a bit cheesy, but in all the right ways.
Mrs. Harris instantly became one of my favorite on-screen characters. She’s the kind of person who makes the lives of everyone around her better, always seeing the silver lining and spreading kindness. But don’t let that kindness fool you though, she’s got a fierce side and isn’t afraid to stand her ground when it matters. Honestly, she’s kind of an icon!
Now, can I gush about the dresses for a second? Oh my goodness, the DRESSES! Each piece is so stunning, it’s like they stepped right out of a vintage fashion fairy tale. The production actually recreated the original dresses from photos and Christian Dior’s sketches for almost all the dresses in the movie. It’s no wonder the film scored an Oscar nod for Best Costume Design! I don’t usually get the hype around designer clothing, but every single dress had my jaw on the floor saying, “Wow!” Whether you’re a fan of fashion or not, this film will definitely have you swooning.
Even though there are no heart-pounding car chases or mind-blowing explosions, Mrs. Harris Goes To Paris captures the simple joy of following a dream and exploring a new world, one stylish step at a time.
So if you’re in the mood for an uplifting story that’s as comforting as a cup of tea, give Mrs. Harris Goes To Paris a watch. You’ll be whisked away on a journey filled with charm and a sprinkle of Parisian magic. Happy watching!
