I finally watched the movie "84, Charing Cross Road" yesterday. The book is one of my absolute favorites! Helene Hanff's brash New Yorker banter via 20yrs of letters with proper Englishman Frank Doel makes for a fast enjoyable read. I was affraid that Hollywood would mess-up the storyline as they have been known to do.... That is why I have waited so long to see the film. I found it at the library and decided it was high time to watch. I should have known Anthony Hopkins would not mess it about, he was wonderful as was Anne Bancroft. There was also a very young Judi Dench as Frank Doel's wife!

I felt like Helene and I have the same obsession with everything London. Which made me feel comforted that I too will someday make it to my beloved LDN.

If you get the chance definitely read it and then move on to the second book "The Duchess of Bloomsbury Street" where she finally goes to England.
