Mrs Harris Goes to Paris

Yes, I saw it last week. I enjoyed it, it’s quite uplifting to see her following her dreams.

Going to see it tomorrow with a friend. There was a video. about the making of the replica dresses/gowns, on a sewing site I am on. It looks like just the 'harmless piece of fluff' you mention. It is the third film of the book to be made so it must have something worth watching.

Saw the trailer for it when we went to see a film last week. It looks amusing and an easy watch. Love Lesley Manville.

My friend and I went this afternoon... yes, it is fluff but very enjoyable. Lots of cliches with British & French stereotypes including a tin of Spam and winos in berets!

All good fun at my local Everyman where they bring the wine to your sofa

Saw it Saturday with a friend ... really enjoyed it ... saw a trailer on TV first ...

Just back from the cinema. Loved Mrs Harris film. Like a Mary Poppins in Dior Paris !

Snap! I saw it at the Liverpool everyman on Saturday.... I like Lesley manville ...very versatile actress

I've just seen it. It wasn't demanding but enjoyable. I would have watched it for the frocks alone. Some beautiful creations. I like Lesley Manville and Isabelle Huppert as actors.

Agree a bit of fluff, but left with feel good factor.Reading review thought it a good choice for friend suffering age related dementia. I was right she loved it, not much of a storyline to follow but the era and humour made us laugh.Very lighthearted and enjoyable.
Unfortunately the cinema was freezing hope it was a one off and not due to energy crisis as we will have to wear scarf,gloves etc for future visits.I did complain as we were leaving .

I remember seeing this film when Angela Lansbury and Omar Sharif where the stars. This is a third remake of the film . Don't know who starred in the original.

I don't go to the pictures hopefully it will be on TV in a couple of years.

Other feel good films are Shirley Valentine,Mrs Callicot's cabbage wars and Educating Rita.

I was booked to go on Wednesday, desperately want to see it, but I think I'm starting covid. Plus I've had to lie on top of the boney dog all night and haven't slept a wink. (He had his bits chopped off yesterday and is such a contortionist he is able to lick the wound even with a lampshade buster collar on.)
I'll have to try another way to see it.

I've just read that a lot of the filming took place in Budapest. Are there still scenes of the real Paris in it?

Oh dear we went on Sunday and didn't like it at all. I'm fact we thought it overlong and we both were a bit bored.

The Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame made a brief appearance in the background! Based on the names on the long list of credits I'd say it was entirely filmed in Budapest.

Haven't seen the films but loved the original book! Paul Gallico (also loved Jennie, Scruffy, The Snow Goose.)

Loved this film,it was a nice heart warming watch with a lovely theme.I would encourage anyone to see it.

Going tomorrow with 3 friends to see it. Didn't realise its a remake (not that that's a problem)

Saw it on stage twice in Sheffield Crucible with Clare Burt as Mrs Harris, wonderful.

I was interested that the original book title was ‘Flowers for Mrs Harris’. Don’t you think the film title ‘Mrs Harris Goes to Paris’ with its jingle type rhyme is so much snappier!

Not on line yet….booh!

My friend and her sister invited me to go tomorrow night with them, but I didn't fancy it after seeing the trailer. Now I'm wondering should I go...

Yes I saw it on Monday, a really lovely story, very heart lifting. I have to say I would even go again.

I read the book many moonsago, or saw a B&W film, I can't remember which! Nice story, and that version had some snobbery and class division...not sure about this version.

I have just travelled to the States to see my DD and DGC and saw it on the plane. I really enjoyed the film, and would like to see it on a larger screen to appreciate the beautiful fashions. Yes, it is 'fluff', but very light and fun to watch.
