While anticipating Lesley Manville’s reappearance on our screens with the spy thriller “Winter of the Crow” and the upcoming season of “Citadel”, why not enjoy a movie from this week’s selection instead?

In “Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris,” we find Ada Harris, the protagonist who works as a housekeeper for the affluent, including Lady Dant portrayed by Anna Chancellor. While at Lady Dant’s residence, Ada lays eyes on a £500 Dior gown and becomes determined to own it herself.

Rest assured, Mrs. Harris isn’t planning to take it. On the contrary, Mrs. Harris carefully budgets her war-widow’s pension to afford a trip to Paris. There, she meets André, a Dior accountant, and Natasha, a famous model. (Lucas Bravo and Alba Baptista play these roles respectively.)
