Product Description:

Amazon.com essential video:
One of the most charming and romantic films around, this 1940 comic romance finds James Stewart (Vertigo, It’s A Wonderful Life) working in a small shop in Budapest and longing for a girl to call his own. His coworker, Margaret Sullavan, feels the same, and soon they are both corresponding and falling in love with their respective pen pals. What they don’t realize is that they are writing to and falling in love with each other, but the problem is that they can’t stand each other in person. The beguiling nature of the mistaken identity formula that influenced countless films is done to perfection here, and the wry combativeness and delightful banter between the two leads makes this a very special film. –Robert Lane

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The Shop Around the Corner
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) … Read More

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Timeless romantic comedy
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 … Read More

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Very enjoyable
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.

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - NOT FOR ME
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.

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - kinda slow
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. ????????????
