The Shop Around The Corner

(Ernst Lubitsch, US 1940, 99 min., 35mm)

Season's Greetings. At Christmastime in Budapest, in a leather goods shop owned by Frank Morgan, rival employees James Stewart and Margaret Sullivan unwittingly carry on a letter romance. While they think they detest each other, the young couple have already fallen in love. See the warmhearted and charming human comedy that inspired the modern classic You’ve Got Mail nearly fifty years later.
