84 Charing Cross Road short comments

    Anne Bancroft is like Joseph, the second young lady of the March family, a poor writer obsessed with books, with a colorful voice and lovely movements. The blandness and pretentiousness that she felt when reading the book are gone, her behavior is so unrestrained, such a person has such a friendship. In the live TV broadcast of the Queen's coronation, I saw Margaret standing behind her for an Easter egg.

    The film has everything I like about the form, but it doesn't impress me. Fiction is the perfect way of expressing all the emotional stories that are about to end, not movies.

84 Charing Cross Road quotes

  • Helene Hanff: Being used to the dead white paper and the stiff cardboardy covers of American books, I never knew a book could be such a joy to the touch.

  • Helene Hanff: [typing] WHAT KIND OF A BLACK PROTESTANT BIBLE IS THIS! Kindly inform the Church of England they have loused up the most beautiful prose even written. Who ever taught Dr. Tindall the Vulgate Latin. They'll burn for it, mark my words. It's nothing to me, I'm Jewish myself, but I have a Catholic sister-in-law, a Methodist sister-in-law, a whole raft of Presbyterian cousins, through my late Uncle Abraham who was converted, and an aunt who's a Christian Science healer. And I'd like to think none of them would countenance an Anglican Latin Bible if they knew it existed. As it happens, they don't know Latin existed.
