Movie Reviews of Hanover Street
Movie Review: Nice B-25 footage
Summary: 5 Stars
Being a fan of the Mitchell bomber, Harrison, Leslie and Chris Plummer, I have to give it five stars.
It's also worth it for the somebody-marry-this-woman scene in which the young Resistance woman shoots one of the Nazi troopers who is trying to capture Ford and Plummer. Gotta love the Resistance.
On the whole, the other reviewers have pretty well nailed it. Not the greatest war movie ever made and weak in many areas, but it still manages to retain a charm of its own, and the scenes in wartime London in which the streets are full of men and women uniform, are very well put together.
It was a remarkable time, however dangerous and tragic, and watching the chemistry between Ford and Down, you can understand how the US troops who had been stationed in England took home 100,000 war brides.
Sweet movie, and well worth the price.
Movie Review: Another great John Barry Score!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am not a bomber fan, nor a Ford fan. But I still rate this movie 5 stars because I am a JB fan. Since there is no full soundtrack of this JB's score available on CD, the only way to listen to its music is to watch this DVD. It was composed around the same time of Moonraker and before Somewhere in Time. Romantic lush strings combined classical Bond sound made the soundtrack worthy to be released or rerecorded. JB tends to reuse/recycle his material. We can hear a motif, Ford waiting his lover on Hanover street, reappeared in Dances with wolves and Swept from the sea. The film itself was not bad. Recommended!
Let's wait in patient. Hopefully, Nic Raine could give a hand as he did for Raise the Titanic, Robin and Marian, etc.
Movie Review: A must see for Harrison Ford fans!!
Summary: 5 Stars
One of Harrison Ford's underrated best. Set during WWII, when Ford meet Leslie Ann Down the two can't help but fall in love because the sparks fly. The problem? She is married and truly loves her husband (Christopher Plummer) but can't help but be attacted to the dashing Ford who is a dare-devil ace bomber pilot. The stronger the attraction grows, the more cautious Ford gets in flying his missions. When fate send him on a mission with her husband, you can't help but not know who to root for. A really beautiful, bitter-sweet love story with enough action to keep the guys interested. Ladies - get out the tissue for this one. It is great!!!Movie Review: Hanover Street
Summary: 5 Stars
Hanover Street is one of those movies that slipped by me when it was first released in 1979. I caught part of it years ago on television. This new DVD version is excellent. Peter Hyams managed to present this World War II movie differently than one would normally expect from a movie about this subject. With romance, humour, action and suspense the movie literally captures you with it's magnetism. There are several scenes behind enemy lines where Hyams almost performs magic in creating intensity of the moment. Harrison Ford is wonderful in this film. I give this one two thumbs up for sure.Movie Review: My favorite romantic movie
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my favorite romantic movie. I agree that not all of the look and situations are accurate -- but that's not what I am looking for in a movie. Most movies ask that we suspend belief for two hours. What this movie has going for it is the sense of time running out -- a common thread in WWII years. Add to that the choice made by the Harrison Ford character -- to bow out because it's the right thing to do and you have a great tearjerker.
