Shared Disdain: Ford and Kristofferson's Movie Misfire
17 Oct
Summary
- Kristofferson quit "Hanover Street," replaced by Harrison Ford.
- Ford called the film a terrible experience he wished to forget.
- Kristofferson was sued for breach of contract over leaving.
In the late 1970s, Kris Kristofferson was slated to star in the romantic war drama "Hanover Street." However, after reviewing his performance in a previous film, Kristofferson decided to step away from acting, withdrawing from the project. This decision led to Harrison Ford being cast in the role of David Halloran.
Despite initial enthusiasm, Ford also came to regret his involvement in "Hanover Street," calling it a terrible experience. To add to the complications, Kristofferson was subsequently sued for breach of contract. The film, released in May 1979, is a forgotten feature that created a shared disdain between the two stars, even though only Ford ultimately appeared in it.
