The Shop Around the Corner

The Shop Around the Corner is a 1940 film which tells the story of two people who work together in a shop who can't stand each other, not knowing that they've been conducting a love affair anonymously by mail. It stars James Stewart, Margaret Sullavan, Frank Morgan and Joseph Schildkraut.

The movie was adapted by Samson Raphaelson and Ben Hecht (uncredited) from the play Parfumerie by Miklós László . It was directed by Ernst Lubitsch.

The Shop Around the Corner was remade in 1998 as You've Got Mail. In 1999 the original film was deemed "culturally significant" by the United States Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the National Film Registry.
