Editorial Reviews

Helene Hanff's book 84 Charing Cross Road had previously been a TV program and a stage play before it was converted into this 1986 film. The scene is New York, 1949: Anne Bancroft plays a struggling writer and passionate bibliophile, who answers an advertisement from a rare-volumes bookshop at 84 Charing Cross Road in London. Thus begins a two-decade romance by correspondence between Bancroft and Briton Anthony Hopkins, the man in charge of the overseas department of Marks and Company. Though several meetings are arranged, Bancroft and Hopkins never come face to face thanks to mitigating circumstances. But Anne finally makes it to London, and finds that much has changed. 84 Charing Cross Road was produced by Mel Brooks, the husband of star Anne Bancroft. Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

June 25, 2006: I just saw 84 Charing Cross Road for the second time. It is absolutely delightful. I love the scenes of old NY and London. I am very much like Helen Hanff played by Anne Bancroft. I love books and everything English. I know I will get to visit London soon. Anthony Hopkins playing Frank Doel is also marvelous. So very "British." Judi Dench plays his Irish wife superbly as usual. I highly recommend this film. It is suitable for the whole family. Thank you Mel Brooks for producing it and putting Ms. Bancroft in it.
