街角的商店 The Shop Around the Corner review by timeout

Teaming Stewart, Sullavan and Morgan, just as in Borzage's The Mortal Storm (made the same year), this also deals with troubled romance in Central Europe, though here the threat is not Nazism but pride and the interference of others, as Stewart and Sullavan, shop staff at loggerheads in Morgan's gossip-ridden emporium in Budapest, only slowly realise that they have been carrying on an anonymous romance by letter. It's a marvellously delicate romantic comedy, finally very moving, with the twisted intrigues among the staff also carrying narrative weight, Morgan's cuckolded proprietor being especially affecting. Thoroughly different from To Be or Not To Be but just as exhilarating, it's one of the few films truly justifying Lubitsch's reputation for a 'touch'. It was later turned into a musical as In the Good Old Summertime.
