Character: Helene Hanff
Cast and Crew
My Too Cents:
Synopsis:
___Charming, understated story
of a love affair between two people who never meet. The "affair" begins in 1949
when Helene Hanff (Anne Bancroft), a struggling New York writer with a love of
fine old books, responds to an ad placed by an antiquarian bookshop at 84
Charing Cross Road in London. Her letter is answered by Frank Doel (Anthony
Hopkins), who runs the overseas department of the store, beginning a 20-year
correspondence between the assertive, sometimes acerbic spinster and the dry,
reserved man with two children, a plain wife, and a sparse home.
