All directed by Lubitsch, the three were Trouble in Paradise, Heaven Can Wait, and Raphaelson’s favorite, The Shop Around the Corner, which had starred James Stewart and Margaret Sullivan and which Kael wrote was “as close to perfection as a movie made by mortals is ever likely to be; it couldn’t be the airy wonder it was without the structure Raphaelson built into it.” (The story was remade in 1998 as You've Got Mail, with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan.)
