Days before Christmas, George’s boss at Hammerschidt’s Parfumerie fires him after mistakenly suspecting him to be the lover of his unfaithful wife. Meanwhile, George’s own love life goes awry when he discovers that the stranger he has fallen in love with through a secret correspondence is none other than Amalia Balash, a co-worker with whom he constantly feuds. For the employees of the Parfumerie, only the truth can lead to a happy resolution in this old-fashioned, romantic Christmas tale. This version of the story was adapted by E.P. Dowdall from the play Parfumerie, originally written by his uncle Miklós László. This is the original play that the Musical She Loves Me and the movies, The Little Shop Around the Corner and You’ve Got Mail spun off from.
