OT: “The Shop Around the Corner” on TCM tonight at 8ET

Yes, it’s a chick flick, but it’s one of the best ever. You can’t go wrong watching it with the wife. Really very fine, Margaret Sullavan’s finest hour. From 1940, directed by Ernst Lubitsch.

Good movie, Jim. I'll set my DVR. Thanks.

Thanks for the tip Jim. I never watched it, but I am a big fan of You've Got Mail which is patterned after it.

Chick flick is right. I'll wait for Noir Alley.

FWIW, Hitchcock is featured this month on HDnet movies. All of the good ones are being shown; Rear Window, The Rope, Vertigo, The Birds, Psycho, Marnie, The Man Who Knew too Much. etc.

not to hijack the thread but Peacock has an Alfred Hitchcock thread. I went on an AH binge 15 years ago and just marveled at what this guy did for the industry.

Nothing wrong with a chick flick as long as it is good, and this my friends, is a great one.

Any relationship to You’ve Got Mail? I believe that the small bookstore owned by Meg Ryan’s character was named the shop around the corner.

Yes, The Shop Around the Corner was remade twice. First as the musical In the Good Old Summertime, then as You’ve Got Mail.
