An Extraordinary Adventure with 'Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris' Awaits at the KCET Cinema Series
The film screens on Tuesday, July 12 at 7 p.m. Tickets are available in advance at the link below, and at the door of the Aero Theatre in Santa Monica.
Paul Gallico's enchanting 1958 novel "Mrs. ’Arris Goes to Paris" sends hardworking English charwoman Ada Harris on the adventure of a lifetime as she seeks to acquire a Christian Dior gown. The feel-good fable has brought joy to countless readers for the decades. Filmmaker Anthony Fabian was well acquainted with the delightful Mrs. Harris, and having lived in Paris as a boy and having attended boarding school in England, he could appreciate both cultures at the heart of the story. "I understood these two worlds extremely well, London and Paris," Fabian says. "I felt it was a story that I could tell in a very authentic and accurate way."
Immediately following the screening, Deadline's chief film critic Pete Hammond, who can also be seen on KCET's Must See Movies, moderated a Q&A with director Anthony Fabian.
Listen to the Q&A from the screening below.
The long-running in-person film series returns in July to the historic Aero Theatre in Santa Monica, while the popular virtual series continues on Eventive, a technology platform designed specifically to enhance the online film viewing experience.
