Image du Jour: The Lubitsch Touch

"Dear Friend..."

Television in these parts is weird - Egyptian soap operas, Lebanese videos, and tacky pay-satellite channels endlessly showing "The Nanny" and "Two and a Half Men." We have TCM, but it's the UK version, which appears to have a library of approximately 15 films, 10 of which star Clint Eastwood. Therefore, it was a suprises, a lovely one, to switch on the box tonight and catch the last 20 minutes of one of the Very Great Works of Art: The Shop Around the Corner. Margaret Sullavan is such heaven that it's actually hard to imagine her in anything else...
