The Shop Around the Corner
Ernst Lubitsch's beloved 1940 film comes to the Tolmen Centre in Falmouth for a Wednesday evening screening. Two gift shop employees who can barely tolerate each other are, unbeknownst to both, exchanging tender love letters as anonymous pen pals. The comedy of errors unfolds with warmth and wit as the gap between what they feel at work and what they write in secret grows ever wider. It is a film that has charmed audiences for generations without ever resorting to sentimentality. A good choice for anyone after a gentle, clever evening at the pictures — and the Tolmen Centre is a fine spot for it.
