The movie was not perfect but the story is like something I would like to do.I had seen this movie many years back and brought back memoriesgreat cast..
Viewer Reviews I watched this movie for the first time in 1999, after I accidentally picked it up from a public library. Even though I don't like to use superlatives as I inevitably end up changing my mind, this movie is undoubtedly one of the best, if not the best movie I have ever seen. I still haven't changed my mind for the past 10 years!
It's just beautiful... like a postcard. It takes place between London and Paris in the 1950's, with all their charm. Part of the story takes place in the House of Dior in Paris where Mrs Harris (promounced 'Arris by her French friends) tries to purchase the dress of her dreams after she worked very hard to save every penny of its price. A tender love story unfolds as a subplot between a socially awkward accountant and a pretty model. Omar Sherif's role as a "Ministre Sans Portfolio" who is estranged from his only daughter is also charming. Mrs. 'Arris touches and changes the lives of all those she meets in Paris.
The only drawback is that the movie is too short... only 90 minutes! I wish it was twice that long, or that there were a sequel. I don't understand why it hasn't been released in DVD yet.
