Movie DVD
Amazon.com essential video:
Helene 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

This was a surprisingly good movie. Though basically the correspondence between a book lover and a book store's employees it was touching, funny and often heart warming. My wife loved it also. The performances by Anne Bancroft, Anthony Hopkins and Judy Dench, were excellent.

This is my absolute FAVORITE MOVIE OF ALL TIME. I buy copies and give it to friends. If you can get rid of the background noise in your life and sit back in quiet for an hour and watch this you will love it too. I was not a big history lover and for me this was also bringing the war to life.

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 ... Read More

84 Charing Cross Road is a beautiful film. A little art house but very satisfying . It tells the story of two people who fall in love over books buy never meet. The late Ann Bancroft is a delight and Anthony Hopkins is one of England's finest actors. My wife saw it on pay TV and raved about it so I had to get a copy from Amazon. We both treasure it.
