Mrs Harris Goes to Paris & Mrs Harris Goes to New York

Product Information

These kinds of films fulfil their own fantasy narrative: that of being seen as you think you deserve to be seen. Clothes here don't just bestow status or beauty, although that's certainly a crucial part of their function, but the right kind of visibility. They elevate their wearers, rendering them deserving of affection and admiring attention. Just like Cinderella, these women acquire power in their moment of visual metamorphosis because they ascend the social hierarchy. I think the whole bringing more heart into the story. [Paul] Gallico is about heart, but I think this film is overwhelmingly romantic. I think that’s one of the reasons why people respond to it emotionally. There’s another aspect that I think we brought to the fore, which is her fight for worker’s rights and social justice. Interestingly, although it’s not particularly in Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris, it does appear when she becomes a member of Parliament. So there are elements from the future books that we brought into this one. There's a strong fairytale aspect to this charming comedy drama about a kind, put-upon cleaner who works her way into the world of high fashion. And, in this case, the titular character in Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris will go to the ball -- albeit a tea dance in a local hall. Manville (Oscar-nominated for her role in the 2017 dressmaking drama Phantom Thread) makes for a sympathetic, likable character whose inner resolve shines through her subservient position in a way that will resonate with many.

For it had not been a dress she had bought so much as an adventure and an experience that would last her to the end of her days. She would never again feel lonely, or unwanted. She had ventured into a foreign country and a foreign people whom she had been taught to suspect and despise. Had found them to be warm and human, men and women for whom human love and understanding was a mainspring of life.
