Film critic Nell Minow joins Kerry and Collin for a look an a holiday favorite that has been remade at least four times, « The Shop Around The Corner » (1940), starring Jimmy Stewart, Margaret Sullivan and Frank Morgan. At the start, though, there is also a brief discussion on the current release, « The Sheep Detective, » which all three highly recommend. Why does « The Shop Around The Corner » take place in Budapest? What is it about this story that makes it so ripe for further exploration in how we anonymously communicate with one another? What exatly is « the Lubitsch touch »? All this, plus three films from 1,001 Movies You Must See Before You Die.
