Harrison Ford had not yet attained superstar status when he appeared in this WW II romance. Ford is cast as David Halloran, an American bomber pilot stationed in London. During an air raid, Halloran meets and falls in love with beautiful Briton Margaret Sellinger (Lesley Anne-Down). Naturally, Margaret is married, and just as naturally David hopes that this won’t make too much difference in their relationship. But this is not to be: Halloran is assigned behind enemy lines on a dangerous assignment, and his partner in this endeavor is Margaret’s husband Paul (Christopher Plummer). Though barely credible, Hanover Street is consistently good to look at. -- Hal Erickson
