A wonderful movie set at Christmas, despite the odd title.
16 February 2003
Judy and Van have wonderful, even smoldering but innocent chemistry in this musical adaptation of Shop Around the Corner. Their unwilling attraction to each other is obvious and completely believable, unlike the James Stewart/Margaret Sullavan pairing, in which it is completely null and void.

Every actor is superb: Cuddles Sakall, Spring Byington, Clinton Sundberg, and the legendary Buster Keaton. What a cast!

This is a great movie, and the ending is better, funnier, and more satisfying than its predecessor.
