Hanover Street appeared old-fashioned on its original release and has been largely forgotten, though since its re-release on DVD in 2001, it has been noticed again, and compared to the much later film The English Patient.

Aviation buffs will also enjoy the flying sequences, which were mostly filmed at the by then-disused Bovingdon airfield using a number of North American B-25's, some of which were flown over to England specially for the filming.
