By night Alfred and Klara are pen pals who have never met but who are deeply devoted to each other. By day, Alfred and Klara are co-workers who, just as deeply, dislike each other. Academy Award winner Jimmy Stewart stars with Margaret Sullivan as Alfred and Klara in this classic romance directed by the great Ernst Lubitsch. This day/night—love/hate relationship cannot continue… but will it be loving or loathing when Alfred and Klara discover the identities of their cherished pen pals?

The Shop Around the Corner
1940. 99 m. Ernst Lubitsch. Warner Bros. US. English. Rated NR.
Tickets: $11 (members), $16 (nonmembers)
"Close to perfection—one of the most beautifully acted and paced romantic comedies ever made in this country."
"This is Lubitsch’s masterpiece, an immaculate conflation of his sprightly shooting style, expertly layered wisecracking and bracing realism, all topped off with a romantic subplot that offers a nakedly joyous celebration of young, serendipitous love."
