“Shop Around the Corner”

Thursday, November 22 7 pm Film Streams, 14th and Webster Streets

See a classic 1940 holiday film at Film Streams, 14th and Webster Streets at 7 pm. Tickets are $5 on Thanksgiving night only - a $3 discount off the regular ticket price. Limited seating is available.

“Matuschek's” is the gift shop around the corner. Among the staff is Alfred Kralik, a likeable young man who's in love with a woman he has never met and whose name he doesn't even know (their “romance” has been conducted through a post office box). When Klara Novak comes to work as a clerk in the shop, the sparks begin to fly... she and Alfred can't stand each other. Of course, what neither knows is that Klara is the woman Alfred has been romancing through the mail! The 1998 film “You’ve Got Mail,” starring Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks is based upon "Shop Around the Corner."
