This sweet little movie inspired the modern day You've Got Mail with Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks. However this film is a timeless classic with letters instead of email and stars the incomparable James Stewart.
Alfred (Stewart) serves as the right hand man to Mr. Matuschek, a prominent store owner in Budapest, Hungary. He decides to answer an ad in the paper to write intellectual letters to a lady he's never met. In the process of doing so he falls in love with her and they decide to meet. A side story regards Alfred's nemesis and coworker Klara and her problems with life and love. And another side story regards Mr. Matuschek's wife and possible infidelity. It's a really nice story, surprising with its depth.
