Lesley Manville Gets Her Dior Dress in ‘Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris'

There are films that are just so delightful, they’re not just fantastic, they’re fantastical. Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris (in theaters July 15) is just that film and Lesley Manville, who plays the title character Ada Harris, turns in a magical performance as a British widow in the 1950s whose life mission becomes about getting a Dior dress. “She wanted this dress for so long. It's been like an epic mission for her to get this dress.” Manville spoke with Newsweek’s H. Alan Scott about the film, her love of fashion, and how excited she is to play Princess Margaret in the next season of Netflix’s ‘The Crown.’ Visit Newsweek.com to learn more about the podcasts we offer and to catch up on the latest news.
