If you’re holding off on holiday movies but eagerly awaiting Lesley Manville’s upcoming roles in the spy thriller Winter of the Crow and the next season of Citadel, we have a perfect film recommendation for your weekend.
In Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris, Lesley Manville stars as Ada Harris, a hardworking housekeeper who cleans for wealthy clients like Lady Dant (Anna Chancellor). While working at Lady Dant’s home, she sees a stunning Dior dress costing £500 and becomes determined to own it.
Okay, so she’s not some villain trying to swipe something! Instead, this widow, Mrs. Harris, is seriously pinching pennies from her pension to finally make it to Paris. And things get wild – she ends up hanging out with Dior’s accountant, this really cute guy named André (played by Lucas Bravo), and a famous model, Natasha (Alba Baptista). It’s a total Cinderella story!
