Shop Around the Corner — Criterion Collection 4K UHD (US Edition)
The film
About the film
With this touchstone of romantic comedy, master of high-society sophistication Ernst Lubitsch applied his famously elegant style to the everyday hopes, fears and heartbreaks animating the lives of the employees at a humble leather‑goods shop in Budapest. As Christmas approaches, battling coworkers Alfred Kralik (James Stewart) and Klara Novak (Margaret Sullavan) grow increasingly exasperated with each other.
Unaware that they have been exchanging anonymous love letters as pen pals, the pair must confront the difference between romantic expectation and reality. Graced with an irresistible ensemble cast, The Shop Around the Corner is a poignant, warmhearted portrait of affection and misunderstanding.
