If you love books. Helene Hanff's story is a delight as she writes to the book shop at 84 Charing Cross Road ordering classical leather bound books. A correspondence develops which sparks a book and then this delightful film. Highly recommended.
A story about love and the love of books, 84 Charing Cross Road features Academy Award® winners Anne Bancroft and Anthony Hopkins in stellar performances. Helen Hanff (Bancroft), a feisty New York writer, mails a letter to a small London bookshop requesting some rare English classics. Frank Doel (Hopkins), the reserved English bookseller, answers her request, beginning a touching and humorous correspondence that spans two continents and two decades.
Hanff's acerbic wit starkly contrasts Doel's aloof British demeanor, but their mutual love of books forms a bond that deepens with each passing year. Their intimate, richly detailed letters draw us into their lives as Helen and Frank share their dreams, hopes, sorrows and joys – and in doing so, develop a lasting and extraordinary friendship.
