“THE SHOP AROUND THE CORNER”
Margaret Sullavan, James Stewart, and the famed “Ernst Lubitsch touch” contribute equal shares to pne of the most delightful entertainments ever filmed. “The Shop Around the Corner.” That Lubitsch is the master of comedy in all its various phases, whether of satire as he so ably demonstrated with his direction of Greta Garbo in “Ninotchka,” or of human, gentle humour in the everyday lives of everyday people.
has been proved for all to see in this new picture. It is a pleasure to see Miss Sullavan back on the screen again, and this most charming and talented of actresses is perfectly teamed with Stewart, who makes the most of another fine acting opportunity to compare with his great performance in “Mr Smith Goes to Washington.” They are assistants in a little Budapest leather goods and novelty shop, both seeking romance. They look for it outside of their own small world, quarrelling constantly, and then discover that they are quarrelling because they are in love.
