Summary: Ah, young Harrison Ford......
Review: ...but that's the only reason to see this movie, just as Harrison Ford claims his only reason for making it was "because he'd never kissed a female human being on screen before." The romance is a bit unconvincing because Down is married and, however much they love each other, it's adultery, and hard to sympathize with them. Dialogue is flat and laughable at times, "Fred? I think I love you!" and the ending is, of course, less than satisfying. Ford is left to fight his war alone and doesn't get the girl. Still, Harrison is always worth looking at....

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: a young Ford and Down
Review: A bad Harrison Ford movie. Those who like the simulated sex may rate it higher, it wasn't much better than fair (2 stars) though.

Summary: A sweet little movie, set in WW II
Review: A little-known movie, it follows two lovers in London, during the Blitz. Harrison Ford plays an American bomber pilot, and Lesley-Anne Down is a British nurse. Christopher Plummer is her husband. The movie is sweet and tender, and every Harrison Ford fan should see it. The plot twists are contrived, to say the least, or else I would give it 4 stars. END

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Very romantic war movie, if there is such a thing
Review: Although the movie's love story was adultery, it really captured the love for passion and integrity

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: excellent!
Review: an exceptional movie set in london during the war staring a very young harrison ford and lesley ann down. everything about this movie is perfect. although mostly a bittersweet love story, the entire movie is a delightful surprise full of wartime suspense and the sacrifices made in the name of friendship.you will love the ending, even though it will hard to see through the tears.this movie was made before harrison ford became a star .what a treasure!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Nice B-25 footage
Review: Being a fan of the Mitchell bomber, Harrison, Leslie and Chris Plummer, I have to give it five stars.

It's also worth it for the somebody-marry-this-woman scene in which the young Resistance woman shoots one of the Nazi troopers who is trying to capture Ford and Plummer. Gotta love the Resistance.

On the whole, the other reviewers have pretty well nailed it. Not the greatest war movie ever made and weak in many areas, but it still manages to retain a charm of its own, and the scenes in wartime London in which the streets are full of men and women uniform, are very well put together.

It was a remarkable time, however dangerous and tragic, and watching the chemistry between Ford and Down, you can understand how the US troops who had been stationed in England took home 100,000 war brides.

Sweet movie, and well worth the price.

Summary: Pretty Good Story About Love And War
Review: Hanover Street in the theaters was a bigger bomb than any that fell in the period it depicts, World War II. I saw it on the TV not too long ago, and it is not too bad of a film. Harrison Ford, in one of his first films since Star Wars, is American Bomber Pilot David Halloran, a man who falls for a married woman. They have an affair, and then he is dispatched to fly a secret mission to deliver a covert operative into Germany. He turns out to be the husband of the woman he had an relationship with. Soon Halloran and this man must become friends and put their lives in each others' hands. There is some wit here, plus Harrison Ford and Christopher Lee, this movie has something for everybody. Check it out.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Shame no one knows it
Review: 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?
