Affectionate and well written adaptation of Helene Hanff's true story (published in 1970), by Hugh Whitemore, expertly performed by Anne Bancroft and Anthony Hopkins, making the supporting cast virtually redundant (though it's wonderful how the staff and wife all start to become involved in the correspondence). In fact it's a film to make you want to write a letter again. Very enjoyable.
It made me think of my own quests (and enjoyment in) tracking down hard to find movies, or the good / right version of something.
