An original British Quad poster for the 1987 release of “84 Charing Cross Road” with softened fold lines and minimal edge wear.  

A British-American drama film directed by David Jones and starring Anne Bancroft, Anthony Hopkins, Judi Dench, Mercedes Ruehl and Jean De Baer.

It is produced by Bancroft's husband, Mel Brooks. The screenplay by Hugh Whitemore is based on a play by James Roose-Evans, which itself is an adaptation of the 1970 epistolary memoir of the same name by Helene Hanff - a compilation of letters between Hanff and Frank Doel dating from 1949 to 1968.

Several characters not in the play were added for the film, including Hanff's Manhattan friends and Doel's wife, Nora.

When a humorous script-reader in her New York City apartment sees an ad in the Saturday Review of Literature for a bookstore in London that does mail order, she begins a very special correspondence and friendship with Frank P. Doel (Sir Anthony Hopkins), the bookseller who works at Marks & Co, 84 Charing Cross Road.

“It's a lovely old shop, straight out of Dickens. You would go absolutely out of your mind over it.”
