The Shop Around The Corner (1940) #WarnerArchive #WarnerBros #TheShopAroundTheCorner
Alfred Kralik (James Stewart) and Klara Novak (Margaret Sullavan) are employees at Matuschek and Company, a general store in Budapest. Klara and Alfred are constantly at odds with each other, butting heads and disagreeing on almost everything. Both are enamored of their respective pen pals, who serve as welcome distractions in their lives. Little do they know, they are each the other's pen pal and, despite outward differences, have unwittingly fallen in love through their letters.
Directed By Ernst Lubitsch
Starring Margaret Sullavan, James Stewart, Frank Morgan

I love how Jimmy’s expression changes when she gives him that final insult, you can see the insult sink in, and then the mask slips and pain shows. Oof, it always gets me. If I were Miss Novak I would’ve quickly babbled apologies.

[@josephpaul4548]

Miss Novak was not the sort to apologize.

[@jaradams]

I cannot imagine anything more frustrating than being compared to yourself and coming in second best and yet Kralik hangs in there

[@Calers-gu1ib]

You do have to fight for what you want at times. People are always in want of greener pastures. Close proximity like working together for an employer can cause lots of conflicts. A person can be treated like they're stupid, slow and unattractive while outside of work treated like they're quite intelligent and a good catch. Being considered insignificant is a lonely life while being considered significant can be the most satisfying when earned.

[@Ajuhdnis]

I was wondering why some dialogues in "You've got mail" struck a chord but felt thoroughly misplaced. And bam! The cigarette lighter that doesn't work and the interesting mixture of poetry and meanness makes so much more sense and is more beautiful here.

[@acdragonrider]

The dialogue is so beautiful in this film

[@miaschu8175]

Yes, but I've just watched You've Got Mail again and was more impressed by it this time. However, I would dearly love to see this film again; it's one of my favourites, along with The Philadelphia Story. James Stewart was wonderful.

[@sarcasticallyrearranged]

I can’t bear “You’ve Got Mail.” I did try several times and,but I thought it was boring and simple.

[@Teacher-Thayse]

I love both movies 😊

[@AngloCatalanProf]

It's been now 82 years since this film was premiered. Will it NEVER be on public domain??????????????????

[@acdragonrider]

The way sullavan and Stewart interact in this scene is so beautiful ❤️

[@electricsoup7481]

I wish real life love stories were as quirky, funny, and endearing.

[@MISSIONCAT11]

Stewart and Sullivan were such great actors. Why not pick some lines or quirky responses from the movie, and then insert them into your life ? Then you could re-live the movie whenever you want.

[@taotzu1339]

@@MISSIONCAT11 Some people are forgetful and not very witty. So the most that may come out of my mouth may just be: Me Tarzan. You Jane!

[@dr.zahraasaad8644]

In movies, and especially in the thirties when the talkies have taken place for not so long, you rarely hear an actor uses his voice fluctuating with emotions as if it was a character itself in which you can almost see the expressions just by hearing the actor's voice and the using of phonetics with each letter (except offcourse for singers actors). James Stewart, apart from his superb talent, brilliantly used his tender voice in each letter and words litterally to express the wanted emotions as if you see through his soul, and you can see it came innately to him not enforced at all, just how amazing actor and human being he was with no one to compare at all. RIP James Srewart.

[@jdubrey1527]

I love You’ve Got Mail, it’s my all time favorite... I just discovered this and ordered it. So excited to watch it!

[@pushkardbg]

Acting: 10/10. ❤️❤️❤️

[@niqueachilds7223]

First of Jimmy could get it any day lol he's smart cute and funny.

[@Calers-gu1ib]

Male roles in a movie don't normally bring a tear to your eye but Jimmy does it every time

[@miaschu8175]

He's one of my all time favourites. So utterly charming!

[@dr.zahraasaad8644]

He brought this quality to cinema when he graced hollywood, and many more beautiful qualities, the innocent, kind, and honest manhood, being sensitive and pure emotionally reacting without taken away how manly he was.

I miss old Hollywood, so witty and funny at the same time!

[@julesf.meloborges811]

Ernst Lubitsch's wit. There's plenty of stupid movies from the old Hollywood too.

[@Calers-gu1ib]

@@julesf.meloborges811 yea there were but what today is missing is actors like Jimmy Stewart. I found some of the most brilliant actors today don't have the looks and stature to play a leading man. Brad Pitts best performances were guys that weren't that bright, but I still like him

I was surprised when I saw this movie and I realised one of my fav movies " you've got mail" wasn't original story

[@ItsMe-jd8ou]

These two are so hilarious haha

[@Concetta20]

The musical revival of this story starring Zachary Levi (“She Loves Me”) is also absolutely charming.

[@destinyawaitsx3]

Thanks for the upload! I love the dialogue in this scene so witty and charming!

[@fatimagic1365]

i do like you've got mail, but to me, it was too padded, and jimmy stewart and margaret sullavan had way more chemistry than tom hanks and meg ryan. "i don't want you to love me!" "i don't!" gets me every time.

[@mhuston865]

I agree. The chemistry and witty dialogue in this movie are superior and engaging. The characters both know how to use the push/pull of flirting. Flirting is a bit of a lost art, especially in these sensitive times.

[@wolfie8748]

@@mhuston865 I agree , relationships and all is lost gone.

[@keithmockett3810]

we projected this for first time just after Christmas 2023!

[@mikal]

Jimmy Stewart's OTHER Christmas masterpiece. And the Wizard of Oz is in it. How could you go wrong?

[@Papa1964d]

посмотрел фильм и много раз пересматриваю!!!! ПРОСТО ОБАЛДЕННО!!!!!!! скачал сам фильм весь в телефон. и часто пересматриваю

[@acdragonrider]

I love this film and these two.

[@manangc]

I was kinda wondering why it had the same plot as The Good Old Summertime. I just learned that this was the original. Just wanted to say I'm a big fan of both Stewart & Buster Keaton. Edit: I haven't seen You've Got Mail, as I've read in the comments, it's also a remake. I will watch it too :)

[@durhamdigital]

This movie was epic

[@viviennemagee9369]

a wonderful film

[@rosirisalmeida3894]

Jimmy, I love you...

[@alicewonderland649]

⚡️💎 and it took them soooooo long to realise ! I haven’t seen this version yet but I already love it after the clip. Maybe tomorrow Now where was THAT coffee shop or wasn’t it real?

[@BlankCanvas88]

Jimmy Stewart looks like Nic Cage here.

[@sulsulrain456]

i watched this first before just watching you’ve got mail because well im a 2000s baby but i enjoy this so much more! idk why :/

[@whiteramen2490]

I'm from 98 and haven't seen you've got mail either. I just love classic films. They're so nostalgic!!!

[@acdragonrider]

The two have such good chemistry

[@SG91218]

Maybe because its a better movie

[@stanwebb2272]

I want to remind every one love is the place ones mind is mixed up and it where the heart takes control of your total being!!!!!! Have you all forgotten that feeling of out of control and the heart makes you breath so fast and totally, you want to reach out hold the other person so close!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@alaaah239]

Can anybody tell me whats the name of this music

[@yolamontalvan9502]

I thought that old movie was a public domain video. Do I have to wait till 2070 or 2080 to watch it for free?

I would so love to know the music playing in the background

The first song in this clip is what I’m trying to find, not Dark Eyes. It’s also the end credits song. Any ideas?

[@MrCryptler69]

I found Margaret Sullivan's character annoying! I would never date a person like that in real life!

[@acdragonrider]

I would. She’s got spunk and spirit.

[@dolly6024]

and what made u think they would date u either

[@PENDEJO-POMPOTAS]

Yes, far too curt and dry with not an ounce of female charm. I imagine that the character was deliberately made like this to contrast strongly with that of James Stewart which was the exact oppsosite, but from the spectator's point of view it leaves one annoyed and dissatisfied. However this defect is more than compensated for by all of the other characters in the film who "bowled me over". That was a superb line-up and gave the film an unmeasurable charm !

[@greenlimabean]

Bickering, bickering, bickering. No thank you

[@sarcasticallyrearranged]

People confuse constantly bickering with passion and it’s not true! It’s just a toxic relationship that’s draining.

[@724vivienne]

I like Meg Ryan in this movie better!
