Summary

In what will surely go down as one of the most purely delightful films of 2022, "Mrs. Harris Goes To Paris," based on the beloved 1958 novel "Mrs. 'Arris Goes to Paris" by Paul Gallico, is now playing in theaters from Focus Features. It tells the story of how a widowed cleaning lady in 1950s London, travels to France to purchase a Dior dress. We were lucky enough to get the chance to interview the key individuals involved in the making of this film, including Academy Award-nominee and lead actress Lesley Manville, co-star Lucas Bravo, the film's Academy Award-winning costume designer Jenny Beavan ("Cruella" & "Mad Max: Fury Road") and the director, writer and producer, Anthony Fabian. All three interviews are available to listen down below as we take you behind the scenes into the making of the film. We hope you enjoy these discussions and will check out the film soon. Thank you!
