In honour of the late, great Nora Ephron, a filmmaker who made an accomplished career of creating iconic on-screen duos, TOPS will screen the classic ‘90s romantic comedy YOU’VE GOT MAIL at Bell Manor Park. Kathleen and Frank - one an independent children’s bookstore owner and the other an executive at a major bookstore chain that’s putting the little guy out of business - have been communicating under pseudonyms for weeks through internet chat, unknowingly becoming the best part of each other’s day. But when the the soon-to-be rivals meet in person, not realizing the connection, an online-offline love-hate flurry of events builds anticipation for the truly earned “happily ever after.” An updated take on the 1940s screwball comedy, the film features an online dating origin-story and an always-welcome reminder that all is fair in love and war.

Featuring beautiful animation by creators Pazit Cahlon and Hector Herrera and charming narration by Gordon Pinsent, TYPESETTER BLUES will be paired with YOU’VE GOT MAIL to tell another bookish tale of romance between coworkers.
