I mentioned a couple of days ago that mum had bought me The Shop Around the Corner on dvd. It is just gorgeous - and I love how closely You've Got Mail stuck to the story, just in a modern context.
I was hoping to find the cafe scenes in both movies to play here as an example, and was pleased to find someone else had done the work for me! Unfortunately the embedding has been disabled, so click here to view it. You won't regret it, it really is lovely.
I am grateful I grew up with an exposure to James Stewart, Gregory Peck, even Mickey Rooney, Judy Garland, Elizabeth Taylor, Shirley Temple (my youngest brother was in love with her!), Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergmann, Gregory Peck, William Holden, Fred Astair and of course both Audrey and Katharine Hepburn.
My sister has always fancied having an outdoors movie night in Summer. With a sheet strung for the screen and a projector. Sounds like fun...
