#1391 Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris

[Kasi Mir]

"Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris" (also known as "Flowers for Mrs. Harris" was a well-received 1957 novel by American journalist, movie critic and autor Paul Gallico, who today is perhaps most well-known for his 1969 adventure novel "The Poseidon Adventure" (about a capsized cruise ship) which was adapted for the big screen in 1972 and 2006. Mrs. Harris went on to star in three more novels by Gallico during the 1960s. This first adventure was previously adapted three times, but always for the small screen, first way back in 1958 in America, then in 1982 (for German broadcaster ARD, starring Inge Meysel), and most recently in 1992 for UK tubes (starring Angela Lansbury). This is the first big-screen adaptation, penned by Carroll Cartwright, Keith Thompson and Olivia Hetreed together with director Anthony Fabian, who was previously mainly known for his documentary work.

Here's the trailer:



And how did you like this positively old-fashioned sneak anniversary film? How did you enjoy the performances, first and foremost by Leslie Manville as the titular Mrs. Harris, but also by portuguese actrress Alba Baptista and french actor Lucas Bravo as lovelorn Natasha and André, by Isabelle Huppert as second-in-command Madame Colbert, and Lambert Wilson als suitor Hipollite de Chassagne? How did you enjoy the story, the the set design of Paris and London? Please let us know in a reply to this posting.

Ein leichter Film um gute Laune zu verbreiten, klappte bei mir gut und so war auch der spätere Bus kein Akt, von mir eine gut gelaunte 2.
