i have lose count of just how many time i have see this movie i probably know the entire dialog backwards yet i be draw to it time and again . set in hungary and a young jimmy stewart play the eligible bachelor kralik who become the secret admirer of margaret sullavan innocent klara . kralik secretly become klara pen friend and and at work together klara confides in kralik about the content of his ( kralik ) letter . clearly kralik be besotted with klara but be unable to make his feeling know whilst he be in competition with the pen friend . confuse . well you wont be this story have a sweet and almost sugary end but we all know it be the end we all want . other character worth mention be frank morgan play his usual role and this time a the shop owner hugo matuschek and felix bressart a pirovitch and kralik confidant . joseph schildkraut a the womanising arrogant vadas so well play that you can not help but hate him right from the beginning . finally william tracy who manage to endear himself to u all with his over confident upstart of a shop junior pepi katona . recently re make a you have get mail star tom hank and meg ryan for me be not as good a the original although i suspect young audience would disagree . if this film be on in your area over christmas and i suggest you pour yourself a nice glass of wine and put a log on the fire and have a box of kleenex handy .
