But this time round, I just wanted to make that official.” In partnership with the House of Dior, MRS. HARRIS GOES TO PARIS tells the story of a widowed cleaning lady in 1950s London who falls madly in love with a couture Dior dress, and decides that she must have one of her own. After she works, starves and gambles to raise the funds to pursue her dream, she embarks on an adventure to Paris which will change not only her own outlook, but the very future of the House of Dior. I wanted to have creative input with the film, because I am putting myself up front. I wanted to make sure I’d be surrounded by actors who would be the best people to be playing those parts.”

Set in the 1950s in London, a widowed woman falls in love with a stunning Christian Dior dress. And while she would absolutely love to own the dress, she can't afford it with her income. Her solution? Work as hard as she can to raise the funds.Ellen Thomas stars as Vi and Jason Isaacs as Archie, friends of Mrs Harris. (Image credit: David Lukacs / Ada Films Ltd) The upcoming film is based on a novel by American author Paul Gallico, which was published in 1958. It was the first of four books all featuring Mrs Harris as she travels the globe with her unique sense of charm, good manners and kindness. Directed by Anthony Fabian, the historical comedy-drama is based on the 1958 novel Mrs ‘Arris Goes to Paris by Paul Gallico, although isn’t the first adaptation of the material. Next came nearly 10 years at TV Times magazine as a writer and then deputy features editor. Here she spent many happy days interviewing the biggest names in entertainment and visiting the sets of some of our most popular shows including Downton Abbey, Call the Midwife and Strictly Come Dancing . The film — that's been made in partnership with the House of Dior — follows Mrs Ada Harris as she goes on a remarkable journey. On the surface, the film is about buying a beautiful dress but dig a little deeper and it's about dreaming big and the importance of friendship, love and family.

The inclusion of subtitles for the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing (SDH) is determined on a title-by-title and season-by-season basis, with careful consideration given to the commercial viability of bringing a TV series to the home entertainment market. While we endeavour to include SDH where possible, the costs involved in creating and authoring are calculated on a per-minute basis and unfortunately we are often faced with such prohibitive costs to include SDH that it can limit our capacity to release the product at all. It is Universal's policy to add English subtitles to 100% of our new feature film (non-TV) DVD product. Lesley Manville is likely a stranger to nobody. She’s a frequent collaborator of Mike Leigh’s and has starred in the likes of Vera Drake, Mr Turner, and Secrets & Lies, as well as films from such directors as Paul Thomas Anderson ( Phantom Thread).
