This film has many great elements, but the whole things fails primarily due to overwrought dialogue that is very soap operatic with words put in character's mouths that mostly teenage girls would think of. Without John Barry's romantic score, this... Full review

While this movie is not the old fashioned wartime classic I had anticipated, it is certainly highly watchable. This is definitely more a romance than a war movie or suspense thriller. It's been awhile since I've seen it so forget... Full review

While the story is set in the context of world war 2, what it's really about is the difference between men who are now called 'alpha' and 'beta.' One is a brash, self-confident, risk-taking narcissist; the other is a high-achieving,... Full review

"Hanover Street" is the kind of movie people like to pick apart because the SS Sgt. didn't render the proper Hitler salute or the uniforms were wrong or because the B-25 wasn't flown over Europe but mostly in North Africa.... Full review

Despite numerous negative reviews of this Film, I decided to give it a chance anyway. Harrison Ford almost always shines. In "Hanover Street" Ford's delivery seemed a little dry at times, but not that often. His future as Indiana Jones,... Full review

This is a strange film...There's a gripping story in there, and the dramatic bones of a great film are all present.SPOILERS!!It's the story of a fearless WW-II B-25 pilot (Ford). Fearless, we learn, because he has nothing to lose, and... Full review

I don't understand all of the negative comments about this movie. It's not like they set out to make another Gone With The Wind, people. I usually hate this kind of movie, but I loved this one! Ford was just... Full review

He describes some of the lighting methods used to achieve certain shots in great and interesting detail.
Despite this, there are interesting colors and compositions used in several of the scene that at least provide some visual interest.

It's a somber and somewhat engaging retelling of the circumstances around Hanover Street 's creation...
An obscure Harrison Ford starrer, Hanover Street is a capable rendition of love and war a la The English Patient , but also recalling Catch-22 and the Indiana Jones films.
