“The dinner-movie combo is the quintessential date, and at BAM couples can do just that on Valentine’s Day” —New York Post. 

Now in its seventh year, BAMcinématek’s beloved Valentine’s Day Dinner & A Movie returns with Ernst Lubitsch’s nonpareil romantic comedy The Shop Around the Corner, starring James Stewart as Alfred, a Budapest shop clerk, and Margaret Sullavan as Klara, his newly hired coworker. At odds from the start, Klara and Alfred are perpetually at each other’s throats, never suspecting that they are carrying on a passionate letter-writing romance after hours.The Shop Around the Corner is “one of Ernst Lubitsch’s finest and most enduring works, a romantic comedy of dazzling range” (Dave Kehr).
