Review of The Shop Around the Corner (1940) by John A — 08 Jan 2012

One of the greatest comedies ever made, the film thrives on its sharp writing, its active camera, and a humane approach to genuine flaws and simple misunderstandings. The shifts and turns in our understanding of characters (and their understanding of each other) bring liveliness to the film.

Also, the performance by Frank Morgan elicits a complex series of reactions, while Sewart and Sullivan are excellent in the leads.
