Description
Release Date: 20 May 2002
A true story about love and the love of books, 84 Charring Cross Road features Academy Award winners ANNE BANCROFT (Best Actress - The Miracle Worker, 1963) and ANTHONY HOPKINS (Best Actor - The Silence of The Lambs, 1992) in stellar performances. Helene 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 humourous correspondence that spans two continents and two decades.
Hanffs 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 Helebe and Frank share their dreams, hopes, sorrows and joys - and in doing so develops a lasting and extraordinary friendship
