Tom Hanks starring early noughties piece, during that period where Spielberg seemed to be concentrating more on character than spectacle (see also: "Catch Me If You Can"), with Hanks playing the part of a man stranded in New York's JFK airport after a coup d'etat in his homeland invalidates his passport.

And also, apparently, inspired by the real-life case of a man stranded in Paris Charles de Gaulle airport (where he lived for years on end).

I have to say, I did find Hanks accent in this quite hard to make out, and - whilst it's probably truer to real life - I was also quite surprised by how his relationship with Catherine Zeta Jones' flight attendant ended!

Listen just for Tom Hanks' mellifluous voice
Tom Hanks turns out to be as authentically genuine a writer as can be. The stories in this book range from the hilarious to the deeply touching.

They move in period, location, and manner, but all demonstrate a joy in writing, a pleasure in communicating an intensely American sense of atmosphere, friendship, life and family that is every bit as smart and engaging as the man himself.

While the stories are witty, it is more so because of the man himself. They may not be Pulitzer material, but it truly is a pleasure to read his book while thinking about this imaginative man.
