I was at the Harris Teeder buying groceries the other day and saw Hanover Street for sale on the cheap-o movie rack. It had Harrison Ford on the cover wearing something that sorta looked like an A-2, so I bought it.
The movie sucked out loud.
Harrison Ford is an 8th Air Force B-25 pilot in the ETO in 1943. Yes, Mildred, you heard right. He flew B-25s in the ETO. Anyhow, he falls in love with an English MILF played by Leslie Ann Down when they are thrown together while seeking shelter from a German air raid on London. Yes, they fell hopelessly in love during one of the many 1943 German bombing raids of old London. As the story unfolds, Ford has to rescue her old man's cuckold ass from Nazi-held Germany and he is almost shot dead in the process. Note to self: Do not mess with married women in a time when it could be in the normal course of your business to get your ass shot off.
Did I mention that this flick really sucks?
Throughout the cartoon, I mean movie, Ford wears what appears to be Sam Sheppard's "A-2" from The Right Stuff. The collar is so huge that, in several scenes, Ford looks like Bat-Man. At least this A-2 had a one-piece back---but so did Bat-Man's cape. I didn't notice too many other jackets in the film. Maybe a B-3 here and there, but generally everyone just wears boring prop-room A-2s.
Bottom line is, if you get the chance to see this movie---don't. Especially if you're wanting to see good jackets. I'm sure that if Harrison Ford had known that our Harris Teeder was selling DVDs of this abortion, he would have rushed to New Bern and bought all the copies himself.
