The Shop Around the Corner (1940)

This film is about some people working at a store. A new employee is hired and hates one of her coworkers. At the same time, these two are writing love letters anonymously to someone and are in love. It turns out they're writing to each other. The film wasn't too bad and the plot was interesting enough to be the story for several remakes.

The two stars in this film are Margaret Sullavan and James Stewart. I'm not all that familiar with Sullavan so I can't say how this compares to the rest of her work. I found her decent in this film, but not good enough for me to seek more of her films. James Stewart wasn't bad, but he's had far better performances.

Overall, this was an average film. This isn't a film I find all that memorable and probably won't watch it again. Still, there are a lot worse films out there so I wouldn't discourage anyone from seeing this film if they have a chance - I just wouldn't recommend going out of the way to see it.
