“84 Charing Cross Road” is one of my go-to movies whenever I’m sick and snuffling on the couch. I agree that Anne Bancroft is the lesser light there–how can you compete with the wonder of a restrained Anthony Hopkins (see, also, “Remains of the Day”). For whatever reason, I always remember the quavery old man who comes in looking for the Archimboldo prints. So charming.

I liked Charing Cross Road (the book) and LOVED Letter from New York. I had no idea Hanff had written so many more books! Thanks for the knowledge, Rechelle. I have to disagree on Charing Cross Rd., the movie, though. I am not at all an Anne Bancroft fan, and it has taken quite some work to remove her bitter voice from my head while reading Hanff’s writing!

84 Charing Cross Road is one of my all time favorites films for it is so very adult and so very human. I’ve enjoyed visiting your blog.
All the very best.
