Review of Hanover Street (1979) by Wes L — 03 Jan 2011
The opeining scene in hanover street in lonodn during WW2, a first cross nurse from england meets an american pilot one day whlst waiting for a bus, they joke with each other and finally have tea and talk with one another.
However margaret is uneasy and has to get away, she does'nt want to go any futrther with david the pilot, as she flees from him her glove comes off to reveal that she has a wedding ring. She still runs away and a bomb comes down over the street.
He looks high and low for her in the rubble and finds her sobbing near a building, they share their first kiss under fire. they both know that they've found something special.
An upset soon comes around the cooprner fo these two lovers, margaret still loves her husband, she is definately torn between two lovers.
A beautiful, heart felt romance blossoms,.
The two leads here show great chemistry with one another, Harrison Ford showing great talent her and the same for british actress Lesley-Anne Down.
Christopher Plummer plays the role of Margarets husband who is an intelligence officer and loves his wife more than anything.
A saddening film, a whole lot of drama, I fekt so much for the characters and their relationship, the ending is upsetting and in a way uplifting.they'll always have hanover street, and he'll think of her when he drinks tea.
