Great drama about fine old books and their friendship, its a stage adaptation from the book with same name. Nice description of the time after second world war, the time goes by between them in New York and London and everyhing change without meeting each other.

There's a distinction between the charm of the original story (made all the more heart-warming by the fact that it was true) vs. the manner in which it is told. Bancroft and Hopkins are magnificent to watch as always, as are the supporting players, but the film -- in and of itself -- is a little thin. Had they included Hanff's sequel of sorts, "The Duchess of Bloomsbury Street", it would have been more complete.

Based on a true story.. Lovely film, I love it. It is simple, honest. With good performances by Anthony Hopkins and Anne Bancroft. Cinephiliac moment: When Frank Doel (Hopkins) seems to be longing to see Helen (Bancroft) and reads a love poem by W B Yeats

I love the starting point of it: correspondence from one side to other and its synthesis, but it actually lasts a lot to develop: there's a lot of passion for books, but for instance, its plot is all about: "Do you have this book? Yes, I'll send it to you :) ". So when you start to actually feel something deep, such as Hanff's love for england, she just reaches Marks and company... and that's it
