Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris

Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris (2022) is a warm period charmer you can watch online on iFILM. In 1950s London, cleaning lady Ada Harris scrimps every last shilling toward one improbable dream: a couture gown from Christian Dior.

Once the money is finally counted out, Ada hops a ferry and lands in Paris, where the House of Dior makes it plain that a charwoman has no business in its salon. Lesley Manville gives Ada such stubborn, twinkling decency that you root for her from the first frame. Isabelle Huppert plays the salon's frosty directrice, Lambert Wilson a courtly marquis, while a young model and a lovelorn accountant slowly fall for their unlikely visitor.

Director Anthony Fabian adapts Paul Gallico's novel into a grown-up fairy tale arguing that beauty checks neither your passport nor your class. The Dior gowns are practically a character of their own and picked up an Oscar nomination for costume design. Perfect for an evening when you want sweetness without a drop of cynicism.
