The Shop Around the Corner

　　踏入四十年代，劉別謙爐火純青的風格步進了新境界，年月的洗禮，令天才的鋒芒收斂，濃郁的情味終於令他不朽。一部被譽為影史上最佳的愛情喜劇。劉別謙破天荒往生活化的人物身上落墨，拍出令他感覺最強烈的電影。商店主管占士史釗域和新來的女下屬瑪嘉烈．蘇莉雲反目成仇，可命運就是弄人，兩人不知道彼此就是互相傾慕的親蜜筆友，史釗域識破意中人廬山真面目的一刻，卻因變成失業漢不敢上前相認。史釗域與蘇莉雲演出精湛，店內其他小人物不但起着綠葉作用，還各有各的一段辛酸。感人筆觸把銀幕上的平凡人物刻劃得從沒如此高貴。
　　
　　An excursion from the beau monde of counts and princesses, merry widows and smiling lieutenants that became Lubitsch's most moving middle-class romantic comedy. Revolving mainly around a leather goods emporium in Budapest, James Stewart and Margaret Sullivan are clerks who lock horns at work, while carrying on a postal romance unaware of each other's identities. Lubitsch himself admitted that "Never did I make a picture in which the atmosphere and the characters were truer than in this picture." What's absent in glamour and spectacle he more than makes up for in understated charm and absolute control of emotional pitch, investing his broad array of humble characters with dignity and humanity.
