Film Quiz Friday: We’ll Always Have Paris

Well, if it’s good enough for Mrs Harris – this week’s film quiz has a lot of questions about Paris in movies.

Every new release is long awaited to someone. We’ve done quizzes themed around James Bond movies and Batman movies and Disney movies, spare a thought for everyone who’s been waiting since May for the Lesley Manville-starring remake of Mrs Harris Goes To Paris, which finally turns up in cinemas this week. As a tribute to their patience, this week’s film quiz has some nice general knowledge questions about Paris on screen as part of the usual découpage of trivia bits.

Once you’ve completed all three rounds, you’ll find a link to a separate post with the correct answers at the bottom of this post. As always, this is just for fun, but please let us know how you did in the comments (scores out of 30 this week!) and give us any other lovely feedback. Un, deux, trois, allez!
