84 Charing Cross Road (film)

84 Charing Cross Road is a 1987 BritishAmerican drama film directed by David Jones. The screenplay by Hugh Whitemore is based on a play by James RooseEvans, which itself was an adaptation of the 1970 epistolary memoir of the same name by Helene Hanff, a compilation of letters between herself and Frank Doel dating from 1949 to 1968. The play has only two characters, but the dramatis personae for the film were expanded to include Hanffs Manhattan friends, the bookshop staff, and Doels wife Nora.

Hanff postpones visiting her English friends until too late Doel dies in December 1968 and the bookshop eventually closes. She finally visits Charing Cross Road and the vacant shop in the summer of 1971.The film was shot on location in London and New York City. London settings include Buckingham Palace, Soho Square, Trafalgar Square, St Jamess, Westminster, White Hart Lane in Tottenham, and suburban Richmond. Manhattan settings include Central Park, Madison Avenue, and Saint Thomas Church. Interiors were filmed at Lee International Studios and Shepperton Studios in Surrey. ........
