*****
Though he finds the newly hired store clerk quite attractive, Alfred decides she just isn’t the girl for him – for some reason the two of them just can’t get along, and besides he has a heart to heart, mind to mind connection with his long time pen pal and how can mere physical attraction compare to something like that' It just can’t! But before he rushes off to marry his pen pal, Alfred decides he should meet her once first. That’s when he finds out she looks a lot like the new store clerk…an awful lot like her!
Remade in 1998 as You’ve Got Mail, the original is far superior, and doesn’t take God’s name in vain. It’s also a good counter to the Hollywood notion of love at first sight – this is love done write!
