More people know about You’ve Got Mail, the remake, than the original movie. So most people will know the general plot: two people who can’t stand each other in real life fall in love through correspondence. Which is a satisfactory summary of the plot, I suppose, but it doesn’t give a good indication of how good the movie is. The story is much more than the fluff piece that plot summary would indicate. The acting’s great too: James Stewart puts in a fine performance and tones down the stumbling aw-shucks personality (or hadn’t started charicaturing himself yet, one of the two), while Margaret Sullivan easily matches his level with a performance of impressive range. The rest of the actors create memorable characters that are just barely 2.5-dimensional, but their interactions are amusing and they create a great supporting cast for the leads. The set design is great too; the store looks like a place you’d actually want to shop in, and you don’t get bored with it, which is impressive for a movie that’s more than 50% inside one location. The Shop Around The Corner is a good movie full of romance, comedy, and drama that should be watched more often by more people.

a guy and a girl that always seem to be at loggerheads with each other, found out that they actually love each other through their correspondence. The classic love hate relationship. this classic film was remade into You’ve Got Mail.
