Based on Roose-Evans’s play, adapted from Hanff’s autobiographical epistolary book, this quietly moving work – chronicling the chaste, long distance friendship built up between a literature obsessed television writer from New York and a taciturn second-had bookseller from London, carried out entirely through frequently exchanged letters – is a film that boasts two exemplary performances, from Bancroft and Hopkins, suffused with sadness and joy, which make it a thoroughly compelling experience.
