Last Chance Harvey


Last Chance Harvey stars Dustin Hoffman (nominated for a Golden Globe for this performance) as Harvey Shine a New York jingle writer whose broken dream of being a jazz musician is just one of a lifetime of disappointments he visibly carries. With his career hanging by a thread he’s off to England where his estranged daughter Susan (Toronto’s Liane Balaban) is about to get married. While in London his dismal life gets even more pathetic until his chance meeting with a fellow sad sack Kate Walker (Emma Thompson - also nominated for a Golden Globe for this performance). Their ever strengthening connection juxtaposed against the mix of new and historic architecture that is modern London is romantic and the story is as sweet as peaches and cream - but alas also as predictable.
