Product Description
A delightful tale of a housemaid who spends her days cleaning the homes of the well-to-do. Mrs. Harris or arris as pronounced in her native cockney (Angela Lansbury) epitomises her generation of honest, working-class Brits. She knows her place, though that never stops her from speaking her mind or dreaming of luxuries. Admiring a beautiful Dior gown in her employer s closet, Mrs. arris is determined to buy one of her own. Working day and night, she finally saves enough to go to Paris and visit the House of Dior, but learns that buying an original couture creation is harder than simply having the cash. After hesitation, Dior s head saleswoman Madame Colbert (Dame Diana Rigg) escorts her in and seats her next to the Marquis de Chassagne (Omar Sharif), a count who is quite taken by this friendly English woman. When her dream passes before her eyes on the beautiful store model Natasha, Mrs. arris orders the same gown for herself, but there is talk that the Dior name will be tarnished if Mrs. arris wears the exclusive design. However the sweet Mrs. arris has made many friends in Paris and all are intent on making sure her dream comes true.

Although my preferred film genre is actually Asian horror, I just love this film. I saw it on TV a few years ago and was really pleased to see it out on DVD. Quaint old films really are a lovely way to while away a spare afternoon and although this was actually made in 1992 it really does have the feel of an older movie which was the intention. It's not sophisticated, it doesn't try to be clever, it's just a good old-fashioned tear-jerker. Just watch it when you want a little escapism!

Format:DVD
A widowed london charwoman becomes enchanted by the paris gowns of one of her wealthy employers. She dreams of owning one of her very own and this is the story of her quest to fulfill her dream. On the way she scrimps and saves,endures sacrifice, makes unexpected friends, prejudice and enemies, does good deeds, and encounters a little romance too. It's a heartwarming story of how hard work can help you achieve your dreams, whatever they might be, and good deeds rebound. I'm glad to see it on DVD. Highly recommended.
I purchased this from amazon.co.uk because this DVD is not available in the US, and was delighted to find that though it is specified as Region 2 on the website, in fact the DVD is marked region free (and so is the case), so anyone from any region can enjoy this lovely dvd, even without a region free dvd player.
