Does anybody remember seeing a movie called Hanover St. it was a WW2 movie that had a love story in it plus aircraft action.
Anyone seen it in video shops etc.
I remember seeing it at the movies in the early 80's at the Wigram or Woodbourne movie theatre. In those days it was only 45 cents or something to watch.
I have tried to google it a while ago but nothing.
cheers for any information.

www.imdb.com/title/tt0079268/Info at URL above: During the Second World War, an American Pilot stationed in England meets a young British nurse during an air raid on London. The two instantly fall in love, despite the fact that the young Nurse is already married; a secret she keeps hidden from her American lover. After being shot down behind enemy lines, while being assigned to ferry a British agent into France, the American pilot realizes that his secret agent cargo is in fact his lover's husband, and that the two must now work together in order to survive. (1979)

Beagle, it has just been rereleased on DVD here in NZ. Look in your local Warehouse. I picked up one the other week. I was bitterly disappointed. Despite a great lead (Harrison Ford), a good supporting cast, and the B-25's too, it was utter dribble.
It was so far fetched it was like some Mills and Boone story. And the script was terrible, must have been written by an amateur. It wouldn't have gotten made today with rubbish dialogue and characters as it had. Full of cliches and sterotypes but not even done up to the level of a B-movie imho. I'm filing it in the 'watch only when desperate' pile.

Good point. I guess what I meant was Harrison Ford wouldn''t have touched the project these days, but I guess he was not so choosy back then.

I don't know how choosey Harrison is these days either; after all, he is shacked up with Calista Flockhart! ;D

I think the only redeeming feature other than the fact there are B-25's in the movie is the leading lady......Leslie Anne Down wasn't it?

Hey, he did a lot of flying of the Beaver (no, the AIRCRAFT !!!) in that movie Six Days, Seven Nights.
So he ranks up there in my list.
