Want To Watch A Movie?
Last night we watched another B&W oldie .… The Shop Around the Corner from 1940. Here’s what the critics had to say. We agree.
Critics Consensus: Deftly directed by Ernst Lubitsch from a smart, funny script by Samson Raphaelson, The Shop Around the Corner is a romantic comedy in the finest sense of the term.
Alfred Kralik (James Stewart) and Klara Novak (Margaret Sullavan) are employees at Matuschek and Company, a general store in Budapest. Klara and Alfred are constantly at odds with each other, butting heads and disagreeing on almost everything. Both are enamored of their respective pen pals, who serve as welcome distractions in their lives. Little do they know, they are each the other’s pen pal and, despite outward differences, have unwittingly fallen in love through their letters. Oh, in case you think Mr. Matuschek looks familiar, he’s Frank Morgan who played the wizard in The Wizard of Oz.
I’ll save you a seat. Enjoy the movie! 🎥 🍿 🥤
