Samuel Pepys
In the charming movie 84 Charing Cross Road, Anne Bancroft’s character, Helene Hanff, lovingly berates her transatlantic book dealer, Frank P. Doel played by Anthony Hopkins, for sending her an unacceptable copy of Pepys’ Diary. While cruising the internet, I found this article about a new film now in production in England based on his diaries.
