Storyline
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.

Despite numerous negative reviews of this Film, I decided to give it a chance anyway. Harrison Ford almost always shines.
In "Hanover Street" Ford's delivery seemed a little dry at times, but not that often. His future as Indiana Jones, and other "emotional yet tough" characters peaks through on several occasions.
There is a good balance of action and romance here, decent character development. The pacing is a little slower than modern films, but comparing an older film to modern drivel doesn't do much good. Sitting through this film should be a cake walk for people with an attention span.
So over all, a good film!
Warning to Parents: There is a very short amount of frontal nudity in this PG film.
