84 Charing Cross Road (1987) | A Love Letter to Books and the Quietest Great Movie You've Never Seen | MNWD Ep. 20

Riley and Mark dig into 84 Charing Cross Road — the 1987 film based on Helene Hanff's correspondence with a London bookseller, and one of the most unusual love stories ever put on screen. They get into what Anne Bancroft and Anthony Hopkins do with roles built almost entirely out of letters, why a film this quiet and literary works as well as it does, and what it says about connection across distance. A relationship that spans 20 years and two continents without the two leads ever sharing a scene.
