Curiosidades
Buster Keaton was working as a gag writer at MGM when this movie was made. The filmmakers approached him to devise a way for a violin to get broken that would be both comic and plausible. Keaton came up with an appropriate fall, and the filmmakers then realized he was the only one who would be able to execute it properly, so they cast him in the film. Keaton also devised the sequence in which Van Johnson inadvertently wrecks Judy Garland's hat, and coached Johnson intensively in how to perform the scene. This was the first MGM film Keaton appeared in since being fired from the studio in 1933.

Pifias
When Andy and Veronica collide on the post office steps, her hat is completely knocked off her head and hanging just below her chin, but in the immediate closeup, it is on top of her head.

Citas
Veronica Fisher: I wish you could read his letters, then you could find out that he has such a lofty point of view.
Andrew Delby Larkin: [sitting close and speaking in a low voice] Lofty?
Veronica Fisher: [starts to scoot away] And now to find out he's so materialistic.
Andrew Delby Larkin: [putting his arm around her shoulders and drawing her close again] Materialistic too? I'm sorry. I hate to think I've spoiled your Christmas.
Veronica Fisher: Well, you haven't spoiled it. I suppose I should be thanking you.
Andrew Delby Larkin: [whispering] Oh, no, you don't have to do that, but do you know what I wish you would do? I wish you'd send this Newspickle about his business and concentrate on me instead.
Veronica Fisher: [turing her back to him] Well, I can't; you already have someone.
Andrew Delby Larkin: [kissing her neck] Oh, no, not yet; no.
Veronica Fisher: [stammering] Now wait a minute; this is all wrong.
Andrew Delby Larkin: After all, it is Christmas.
Veronica Fisher: I know, but Mr. Larkin...
Andrew Delby Larkin: [pulling her close] Oh, Veronica, I love you so! Please open box 2-37 and take me out of my envelope.
Veronica Fisher: [turns to face] Box tuh... box 2-3-7!
[turns to look into Andrew's face]
Andrew Delby Larkin: Dear friend.
Veronica Fisher: You?
Andrew Delby Larkin: Yes.
[nodding head; Veronica audibly exhales]
Andrew Delby Larkin: Are you disappointed?
[last lines]
Veronica Fisher: Psychologically, I'm very confused, but personally I feel just wonderful.
[they kiss]

See it for Judy but the original is superior

Quaint would really be the best way to describe this. Mild but colorful reworking of The Shop Around the Corner trades that films exquisite pathos for a sunny tone and loses something in translation but is miles ahead of the travesty that is You've Got Mail. The musical score is full of charming songs from the period socked across by the great Judy although she seems terribly jittery here. Of all her films this is the one where her resemblance to Liza Minnelli is the strongest so it seems fitting that Liza plays her daughter in a bit at the end. As for the rest of the cast, Spring Byington and Cuddles Sakall are cute and well matched in a much more gentle version of the shop keeper and his wife than the original film, but Buster Keaton is almost totally wasted in a small part.
