La carta final (1987)
Helene Hanff (Anne Bancroft), escritora norteamericana con residencia en Nueva York, es una apasionada de la literatura, especialmente de la británica. El problema es que en su ciudad no hay tiendas dedicadas a la venta de ese tipo de libros. Un día contacta con una librería londinense especializada en libros usados, en el número 84 de Charing Cross. En este establecimiento, su propietario, Frank Doel (Anthony Hopkins), se ofrece a mandar libros a todas partes del mundo, al gusto del consumidor. Helene, maravillada, empieza a intercambiar cartas y libros con Frank. Con el tiempo, la amistad entre el librero y la escritora se vuelve tan fuerte que es capaz de acortar la distancia que les separa, aunque solo sea entre párrafos, comas y puntos. Durante veinte largos años, a pesar de no haberse visto nunca, los amigos no dejan de escribirse.
