Product Details

Product Description

From Amazon.com

Harrison Ford is impossibly young and handsome as an American pilot in the World War II romance Hanover Street; Lesley-Anne Down (The Great Train Robbery) is stunningly beautiful as the British nurse who falls in love with him, despite being married to British intelligence agent Christopher Plummer. In fact, everything about Hanover Street is just a little over the top, from the insanely romantic dialogue to the absurd war-buddy banter of Ford and his bomber crew to the love-making montage in which Down seems to have at least a dozen orgasms. Down and Plummer have a daughter (played by future Lethal Weapon 2 love interest Patsy Kensit) who's so precious and precocious you just want to smack her. The whole thing is almost a camp pastiche of a war romance--but when Ford and Plummer find themselves together behind enemy lines, you'll suddenly discover that you're caught up in the story. Through sheer movie-star charisma and cunningly ridiculous plot mechanics, Hanover Street becomes not only entertaining, but even touching. Plummer is particularly good as an ordinary man who wishes to become something more, Ford is stalwart as only he can be, and Down is just too lovely to resist (it's hard to understand how her career ended up with the likes of Beastmaster 3: The Eye of Braxus and Death Wish 5: The Face of Death). All in all, a surprisingly enjoyable cinematic experience. --Bret Fetzer

5.0 out of 5 stars Shame no one knows it, Jun 21 2004

This review is from: Hanover Street (VHS Tape)
Hanover Street is definitely one of Ford's finest movies ever! The movie is unfairly underrated and as a result very few have ever seen it. It's a shame too, this movie is fantastic!! I love, love, love it!! World War Two... Harrison Ford... Romance... what's not to love?

1.0 out of 5 stars Unbelievably wrong, Jun 11 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Hanover Street (DVD)
This is one of the worst World War II movie I have seen, and I have seen a lot. Not only the love story is farfetched, but a lot of details are wrong! Two examples: Harrison Ford'hair is way too long for 1943 + How could one of the characters enters the Gestapo Headquarters in Lyon without even once identify himself ? Because of these loose threads, I couldn't begin to believe in the story.

2.0 out of 5 stars Harrison Ford and Lesley-Anne Down fall in love during war., Sep 29 2003
By 
James McDonald (Lancaster, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hanover Street (DVD)
Yet another World War II picture of a war-torn young man and a young woman who meet by chance and quickly fall in love. It all happens so quick. But what makes this film different than the others is a 36 year old Harrison Ford (who looks like he's 23) and Lesley-Anne Down star in the film. Harrison Ford did this film before he made Raiders of The Lost Ark and the other "Indiana Jones" films. This film plays like a soap opera and tries really hard to stir up emotion for you. This story has an interesting twist. Also in the cast is Christopher Plummer, Richard Masur, Patsy Kensit and John Ratenberger. DVD is in wide-screen format. Also includes Director's Audio Commentary and bonus trailers.
