Reviews for Mrs. Harris
It might not be up to the level of, say, Reversal of Fortune, but it's also far above your typical movie-of-the-week network filler.
The film was 'inspired' by Shana Alexander’s book, but the tone comes straight out of the tabloids. This tone lies somewhere south of smugness but north of pure derision.
