Part of the Enzian Holiday Series!

3-time Academy Award nominee Ernst Lubitsch’s 1940 romantic comedy The Shop Around the Corner stars James Stewart (It’s a Wonderful Life) as Alfred Kralik, the top salesman at the Budapest leather goods store Matuschek and Company owned by Frank Morgan (The Wizard of Oz). After immediately falling out with new employee Klara Novak (Margaret Sullavan), their relationship deteriorates even further as they’re forced to work alongside each other. What the pair don’t know is that they are actually pen pals, and over the course of the endless stream of letters that they’ve sent to each other, they have fallen in love. Set in the weeks leading up to Christmas and on Christmas Eve, The Shop Around the Corner is about as elegant as classic movies get—even getting the Hollywood remake treatment with 1949’s Judy Garland film In the Good Old Summertime and 1998’s Meg Ryan/Tom Hanks delight, You’ve Got Mail.
