Screening of the 1940 Christmas comedy 'The Shop Around The Corner' directed by Ernst Lubitsch, part of 'Christmas at QUAD'.
The Shop Around The Corner is coming to QUAD this December, with two screenings on Sunday 13 December at 13:00 and Thursday 17 December at 12:00. It's a 1940 Christmas comedy directed by Ernst Lubitsch, and it's part of 'Christmas at QUAD', the cinema's festive programme.
If you've never seen it, the premise is a classic: James Stewart plays Alfred and Margaret Sullavan plays Klara. By night, the two are pen pals who have never met but are deeply devoted to each other; by day, they're co-workers who can't stand the sight of one another. It's a gentle, old-school comedy of errors, and it's exactly the kind of thing that works on a big screen when the weather's turned cold.
It's worth keeping in mind that QUAD is a cinema with a bit of a mission. They're committed to nurturing regional talent and keeping cinema accessible, and that carries over into how they run their screenings. They run regular descriptive subtitled screenings and provide Audio Description whenever possible, so if you're booking for someone who needs those options, it's a good one to keep on your radar.
