The utterly delightful and charming film, Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris, about a English widow who heads to Paris so she can buy a Christian Dior dress. Set in 1957. One of those rare films that is just perfection.
The novelist John Jakes. He wrote some wonderful historical fiction - The Kent Family Chronicle and the North and South trilogy, both which were made into miniseries (and reduced to costume dramas for the most part). Fantastic writer...
The latest episode of Season 2 of Perry Mason. Gosh, I just love this show. The acting by Matthew Rhys as Mason is fantastic. The sets, the costumes, the story...all wonderful.
