Britain's What's On Event Guide
The Shop Around the Corner (PG)
A rare chance to see the 1940 classic that inspired You've Got Mail (1998) on the big screen, The Shop Around the Corner is a perfect mix of comedy, romance, tragedy and hope.
By night Alfred and Klara are pen pals who have never met but who are deeply devoted to each other. By day, Alfred and Klara are co-workers who, just as deeply, dislike each other. Their day/night hate/love relationship cannot continue, but will it be loving or loathing when Alfred and Klara discover the identity of their cherished confidant?
Rotten Tomatoes – 99%
'It just deals with the holidays in a very interesting, compelling and human way. It leaves you with a warm and hopeful feeling of Christmas.' Jacqueline Lynch, author of Christmas in Classic Films.
‘This is Lubitsch’s masterpiece, an immaculate conflation of his sprightly shooting style, expertly layered wisecracking and bracing realism, all topped off with a romantic subplot that offers a nakedly joyous celebration of young, serendipitous love.’ David Jenkins, Time Out
‘Close to perfection -- one of the most beautifully acted and paced romantic comedies ever made in this country.’ Pauline Kael, The New Yorker
‘[The actors] are all as right as right can be and lightest of all is the quiet charm with which Lubitsch has taken a frivolous little Molnaresque story and turned it into a silken and witty ninety minutes of delectable froth.’ Herman G. Weinberg, Sight & Sound
