"It's a Wonderful Life" has become a Christmas standard along side such films as "A Miracle on 34th Street" and "A Christmas Story," but it is not the only Christmas themed Jimmy Stewart film available. "The Shop Around the Corner," released in 1940, is a warm, funny romantic comedy that is just as worthy of being a Christmas classic.

"Shop Around the Corner" is set in a department store in Budapest around Christmas time and is about anonymous pen pals (Stewart and Margaret Sullavan) who are falling in love, but unknowingly work together and hate each other.
