Movie Reviews of 84 Charing Cross Road
Movie Review: 84charingcrossroad
Summary: 4 Stars
Enjoyed the dvd,I am a fan of Anne Bancroft and Anthony Hopkins,would watch just about anything in which they appeared. I will at some time purchase The Pumpkin Eater,a film from VERY long ago that impressed me then and I would like to view again. Hopefully the cost will come down a bit??JUdi Dench is another favorite of mine and is in so many things over the years,I watch the BBC shows on TV which she appears. I think I must go to London at some point,my Fathers birth place,maybe that is why I lean to the Brits.
Summary of 84 Charing Cross Road
A letter to a london bookstore in search of rare english classics for a new york writer begins a relationship that spans two decades and two continents. Although their personalities and cultures are miles apart their friendship blossoms into a deeper affection. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 05/13/2008 Starring: Judi Dench Anthony Hopkins Run time: 99 minutes Rating: PgHelene Hanff (Anne Bancroft) and Frank Doel (Anthony Hopkins) are lifelong friends who never meet in this unique comedy-drama based on a true story. Hanff and Doel are separated by 3,000 miles of ocean and joined by a passion for old books. Their relationship begins when New Yorker Hanff orders a copy ("unabridged, please!") of Pepys's diary. Doel, as polite and soft-spoken as Hanff is loud and overbearing, fields the request from his book shop in London. For the next two decades they correspond without ever actually sitting down for tea and crumpets. Brit director David Jones (Betrayal) does a reasonably good job of goosing a movie about something as uncinematic as letter writing, and the stars have fun chewing scenery on both sides of the Atlantic. The model for this kind of bittersweet relationship is David Lean's Brief Encounter, which, not coincidentally, is glimpsed here when Hanff steps out for a rainy-day matinee. --Glenn Lovell
