They develop an instant and mutual dislike which intensifies when, later on, Andrew is forced to hire Veronica as a saleslady at Oberkugen's music store. What the two don't know is that while they may argue and fight constantly throughout the day, they are actually engaged in an innocent, romantic and completely anonymous relationship by night, through the post office.

Cheerful remake of The Shop around the Corner (qv), with agreeable music, garish colour and not much style.

The Great Garland
OK. It's a 1949 musical about a couple of people who correspond with each other but never meet but one works in a music shop and the other one gets a job there. Doesn't sound all that promising, does it? But there's one ingredient that makes this film very watchable indeed, and that's the great Judy Garland. She just seema to light up any film she's in, although the other actors, including Van Johnson, are very good in this offering as well. You know what's going to happen after five minutes, but somehow it doesn't matter at all. Settle down and wallow.
