Charming - By: gozeat, 15 Aug 2007
For those of you who do not know this movie, it is one of the most charming films ever made. It is the original on which You've got Mail, with Tom Hanks & Meg Ryan, is based.
Set in an indeterminate east European country, probably Hungary, James Stewart is superb in the role of a gift shop manager who is the "pen pal" of one of his own shop assistants, Margaret O'Sullivan, without either of them knowing this is the case. They dislike each other from the moment, she starts working there. Of course it alll turns out well in the end & romance blossom's. The film has a wonderful script & there are fine performances from the whole cast, alll of whom were "stock" actors of the period. They reallly do not make films like this any more!
