    WWII romance that plays like a Mills and Boon novel. Ford and Down make a very handsome couple though, and the stiff upper-lipped derring do behind enemy lines is efficiently handled.

    Pretty good flick. Harrison Ford shows why he is a good actor.

    The opeining scene in hanover street in lonodn during WW2, a first cross nurse from england meets an american pilot one day whlst waiting for a bus, they joke with each other and finally have tea and talk with one another.

    However margaret is uneasy and has to get away, she do...( read more)es'nt want to go any futrther with david the pilot, as she flees from him her glove comes off to reveal that she has a wedding ring. She still runs away and a bomb comes down over the street.

    He looks high and low for her in the rubble and finds her sobbing near a building, they share their first kiss under fire. they both know that they've found something special.

    an upset soon comes around the cooprner fo these two lovers, margaret still loves her husband, she is definately torn between two lovers.

    a beautiful, heart felt romance blossoms,

    the two leads here show great chemistry with one another, Harrison Ford showing great talent her and the same for british actress Lesley-Anne Down

    Christopher Plummer plays the role of Margarets husband who is an intelligence officer and loves his wife more than anything.

    a saddening film, a whole lot of drama, i fekt so much for the characters and their relationship, the ending is upsetting and in a way uplifting.they'll always have hanover street, and he'll think of her when he drinks tea.

    was a little slow, and I did fall asleep, but probably worth another watch.

    I found this movie seemed quite rushed.

    Action director Peter Hyams is out of his element with this melodramatic World War II drama, which consists mostly of an unlikely tryst between American soldier and British nurse. But I'm a fan of Harrison Ford as he was quite a hero in this late 1970's film.

    A fair WWII love story.

    80s fluff. But I have watched it dozens of times. Propaganda.

    One of the worst movies I have seen in my entire life, but unintentionally BRILLIANT. I had just had a tooth out when I saw this, and it cheered me up no end. It is so unbelievably cliché it had me in stitches throughout. The plot, the wonderfully static dialogue that you can pre...( read more)dict to a word, all provide endless amusement. Another source of comic delight is the endless anachronisms, including Harrison Ford's trousers which are WAY too tight and low for a 1940's man! Oh, and not forgetting that important element, of a very young Harrison Ford and a not so young Christopher Plummer. But still nice. Anyway, overall one of the funniest movies I think I have ever seen.
