Trivia
This movie is based on the book "Mrs. 'Arris Goes to Paris" by Paul Gallico published in 1958. Paul wrote a series of four books about Mrs. 'Arris - "Mrs. 'Arris Goes to Paris", "Mrs. 'Arris Goes to New York", "Mrs. 'Arris Goes to Parliament", and "Mrs. 'Arris Goes to Moscow".

Goofs
When Mrs. Harris first sees the dress in her employer's bedroom, she is told it cost four hundred and fifty guineas. Mrs. Harris later tells Violet that it is worth four hundred and fifty pounds, and when she goes to Paris, that is what she buys it for, but a guinea was worth 21 shillings, and a pound only twenty, so 450 guineas is not the same as 450 quid, and the guinea price would make it 472 pounds, 10 shillings.

Quotes
Mrs. Ada Harris: I'll be right with you in two shakes of a duck's whisker.

Hurray for Angela Lansbury she has another home room hit !

There number gets less every year but I tell you Ms.Lansbury is one of the last icons of movies,theatre,singing and T.V. She has garnished four emmies 15 nominations in all. tonnies,academy awards nominations.She never seems to age but one of her most popular movies in the mid-fifties with Frank Sinatra, "The Manchurian Canidate". In that role she played the mother of the presidential candidate, in reality she was only three years older than actor Larence Harvey the English actor who played her son, she was only 36.However I apologize for the diversion. In "Mrs. Arris Goes to Paris" you see a determined strong willed English woman walking the extra mile or so, to work to save every possible way she could to save up enough for one of the priceless and elegant dresses. Though almost predictable with her charm and personality who can see her winning the hearts of people in "the know" one by one.This movie lifts one's hearts at a time in the world where we need a little fantasy a good feeling and a excellent actress, Angela to come to the rescue.Thank You bcpmd
