Summary: The Shop Around the Corner
Comment: Okay..these old romantic comedies are priceless. My 22yr.old daughter and I enjoy these together, so that makes them even more special. It brings us together as a mother and daughter and I think the movies will always mean alot more because of this. The characters and one-liners are classic. The facial expressions and the delivery of lines tickle our funny bones! ...they really don't make movies like this anymore. The shop around the corner was the original of a remake by Tom Hanks (I think) called "You've Got Mail". You might like that one...but you will love The Shop Around the Corner!

Summary: Timeless romantic comedy
Comment: Jimmy Stewart and Margaret Sullivan sparkle in this superbly acted and well-written film. I'm an old movie fan and this definitely ranks in my top ten although not a lot of people are familiar with it. Sullivan and Stewart are co-workers at a shop that sells a little bit of everything. They are constantly bickering and finding fault with each other. Privately, each of them is carrying on a romantic correspondence with a secret penpal. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to deduce they are actually corresponding with each other, but haven't the slightest idea. It doesn't matter that the viewer figures this out relatively early. It's just pure delight and escapist entertainment to watch the two of them "fight fate" and ultimately discover they were meant for each other. The modern movie "You've Got Mail" was loosely based on this superior classic.

Summary: Very enjoyable
Comment: This was a very enjoyable movie. Jimmy Stewart fans will not be disappointed. It's humorous, sweet, and does a good job on the sensitive subject matter that is included in the story. I highly recommend it.

Summary: NOT FOR ME
Comment: BOUGHT FOR MY SISTER AT HER REQUEST. SHE LOVES 'YOU'VE GOT MAIL' AND THOUGHT SINCE IT WAS BASED ON THIS MUCH EARLIER VERSION THAT SHE WOULD LIKE IT. SHE WAS DISAPPOINTED, BUT YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE IN 'THEN AND NOW' IN FILMS. WE ARE SPOILED TO CURRENT TECHNOLOGIES AND ACTORS.
Customer Rating:
Summary: kinda slow
Comment: I expected more. Maybe I just like the remake (You've got Mail) better. Tried to watch this several times, but I fall asleep. Not Jimmy Stewart's best. Others in household don't care for it either. ????????????
