    "The Shop Around the Corner" is the world's most perfect movie. Not a single minute is wasted. It is improbably crammed to the rafters with every possible human strength and weakness exposed and examined as a shared experience. It also manages to revealingly span every human emotion with a knowing, delicate and sympathetic touch. I defy anyone who watches this movie today not to marvel in its dignified grandeur...

    Now one of my favorite pre war James Stewart films along with The Philadelphia Story, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington and You Can't Take It With You. The film was remade as a musical in 1949, as In the Good Old Summertime with Judy Garland and Van Johnson. It was remade again in 1998, as You've Got Mail with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan.

    One of the things I love about this movie is that they didn't move the setting to the U.S. Sure, everyone speaks English, but all the names and the signs remain as they were in the play.

    THANK you for including that anecdote at the end. I've always enjoyed Alan Arkush, and knowing that he's even more of a Lubitsch nerd than I am only makes me like him more. :)

    "I can tell you, it will happen". Put two and two together, what a hint.

    This is a wonderful film & great story. Tragically it was remade as "You've got Mail" with AOL product placement; Tom Hanks & Meg Ryan can't hold a candle to Stewart & Sullivan. The European setting fits the movie as does the black & white photography which gives it a period feel.
    A film that can be rewatched & still be enjoyable.

      I agree with you-“You’ve got Mail” is a crass,deeply inferior remake.

    I saw the remake, not knowing it was a remake, and came away HATING every bit of it.
    And then I saw this on TCM, and not long into the movie, realized... OH MY GOD, this is the movie that other THING was a remake of. Except... this one... I LOVED every bit of.
    John Huston said it best: "There's NO POINT in remaking a classic."

    A word to Allan Arkush why not one word is said about Budapest, Hungary where the story is played? Not in Berlin, Germany and not in NYC!!
