Review of Mrs. 'Arris Goes to Paris (1992) by Mark L — 30 Mar 2008
Based on a popular novel that was published in 1958, Mrs 'Arris Goes to Paris is a delightful and simple story about happiness, about dreams, about love. So, who better to play Mrs 'Arris than the great, the original, the one and only Angela Lansbury?
The cynics will say it is sacharine sweet and boring, I am sure. I am very glad that I am not a cynic! The simplest things in life are a marvel and Mrs 'Arris is a simple woman - and a marvel. On a day trip to Paris to make her dream of owning a Dior dress come true, she encounters many wonderful people, each of whom has a little unhappiness in their life. Each of them finds their unhappiness cured, simply by knowing Mrs 'Arris. Everyone's dreams come true, especially hers!
On days when I'm just having a really bad time and need some cheering up, this is one of the first movies I go for. It reminds me that happiness exists and dreams come true.
