        • Trivia
          This movie was 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.

        No special effects? I'll take that!
        These days it has become a rarity to find a good movie not aided by special effects, blood or sex. It was a real pleasure to watch this small, honest and humble film, quietly following the tradition of those movies we had almost forgotten. I bet the glorious Angela Lansbury should have enjoyed acting as much as we enjoyed watching it. Well, my mother commented shortly on this movie: just like Cinderella... I cannot argue with that.
