‘You've Got Mail’ (1998), directed by Nora Ephron, is a modern adaptation of the classic 1940 film ‘The Shop Around the Corner,’ directed by Ernst Lubitsch. Both films explore the charming and serendipitous romance that blossoms between two individuals who are initially unaware of each other's true identities. However, while ‘The Shop Around the Corner’ is set in a Budapest gift shop, ‘You've Got Mail’ transplants the story to the bustling streets of New York City, using the then-novel concept of email as the medium through which the characters unknowingly connect.
