Close encounter of the turd kind

Hanover Street (1979)

Written & directed by Peter Hyams this film stars Harrison Ford. Lesley-Anne Down and Christopher Plummer. In London in 1943 an American bomber pilot falls in love with a woman who turns out to be married.

Taking homage from romantic war time films of the 1940s and 1950s this film attempts to mix romance with action and ends up missing the boat completely. Nearly every cliché in the book is attempted and goes wrong here with a story that is massively disappointing, filled with paper thin characters. It is hard to find much to praise here and I only watched this film as it has Harrison Ford in it.


2/5
