‘84 Charing Cross Road’
A film as sweet as it is dignified, 84 Charing Cross Road tells the story of an extraordinary, decades-long friendship between Anne Bancroft, a Manhattan resident and voracious reader of obscure classics, and Anthony Hopkins, the owner of a bookstore located in London’s West End. Released in 1987, and based on the 1970 book by Helene Hanff, 84 Charing Cross Road is a touching tale sure to provide a welcome respite from today’s news-centric turmoil.
