The nightingale of mature romance sings a haiku tune for Dustin Hoffman and Emma Thompson in a good-spirited romantic comedy worthy of their understated comic performances.
In foggy London town American jingle-composer Harvey Shine (Hoffman) arrives to give away his daughter at her large-scale wedding.
Trouble is that daughter Susan (Eileen Atkins) wants her new step-dad Brian (James Brolin) to do the honors.
With no job to return home to, Harvey courts London-native Kate Walker (Thompson) with more gusto than he’s probably shown in many years.
As a tender and musically-embellished love story told with delicate simplicity, “Last Chance Harvey” is a winner.
(Overture Films) Rated PG-13. 90 mins.
