Critic Reviews

Staff (Not Credited)

Hanover Street is reasonably effective as a war film with a love story background. Unfortunately it's meant to be a love story set against a war background. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Staff (Not Credited)

Director Hyams tries desperately to evoke the feel of the best of the 1940s wartime romantic dramas but, despite solid performances from the leads, his screenplay is predictable and trite, leaving the audience little to look forward to. Read full review

Vincent Canby

Every now and then a film comes along of such painstaking, overripe foolishness that it breaks through the garbage barrier to become one of those rare movies you rush to see for laughs. The clichés were everywhere, but always just slightly out of place and inappropriate. Read full review

Time Out London Staff (Not Credited)

Gung-ho American World War II bomber pilot falls for an already married English rose during teatime rendezvous in war-torn Hanover Street. Anaemic and foolish. Read full review
