The Shop Around the Corner by Samson Rapielson. It stars Van Johnson as Martin. Phyllis Thaxter as Clara, and Felix Bressart as Piruvich. The Lady Esther screen-gilled players in the shop around the corner. It's true that Sine and Fron said Matushek and Company, novelties and leatherware.

But if you asked most people, they would say, oh yes, the shop around the corner. Those were the old days in Budapest, the happy days before the war. And we who worked at Madduchek's were happy too.

Although we had our little problems even then. Like the morning young Martin came to me and said, Pervitz, you want to hear something nice? You mean your dinner at Mr. Madduchek's last night? You had a good time, yes?

Oh, yes. And Mrs. Madduchek was charming, yes? Oh, yes. And Mr. Madduchek has made you a partner, yes? Oh, no. No, no, your way off. Well, I was just hoping. He seems to like you so much, but I wasn't talking about business at all.

What then? This letter gets from a girl. Listen, Perovitch. She writes, my heart was trembling as I walked into the post office. And there you were lying in box 237. In such a little box?

Oh, not me, my letter. Who is she? Yes, we talk? Well, not exactly. You see, I was looking through the Sunday paper and I ran across this ad. Matter of fact, I think I've still got a simple explain with you why.
