'...a splendidly old-fashioned film, a guilty pleasure for nostalgia fans and soppy romancers alike...'

Wonderful throwback with compelling melodrama and just enough war movie thrills to balance the soft lens.

Ford and Plummer have good chemistry together, and the action is nearly continuous. The narrative momentum picks up as the film progresses ... Peter Hyams has always been highly talented at telling a story through the visual medium.

This is a 1979 movie so you need to keep an open mind with the genre, music (makeup) and styling of the movie. Harrison Ford is made for this role as an American soldier (& hero ??) and Christopher Plummer does a superb job as his "pleasant" side kick. Lesley Ann Down is quintessentially charming with her British ways. Richard Masur is so authentic. Pasty Kensit is delightful. There are many great lines in this movie and a warmth and subtlety you don't allways see in modern flicks. How can you not fall in love with Hanover Street.

Filled with irony, this contrived WW2 romantic drama tried to make an affair ok with a redeeming act.

Good plot,. Exiting action, even if a bit contrived.

Watch this to see a young Harrison Ford and Christopher Plummer! The story is decent enough to not get boring.
