Based on the Miklos Laszlo play, Parfumerie, which inspired the movies "The Shop Around the Corner," "In the Good Old Summertime" and "You've Got Mail," She Loves Me (from 1963) concerns feuding co workers who carry on an anonymous letter-writing relationship through a lonely-hearts club. Joe Masteroff penned the book, Jerry Bock the music and Sheldon Harnick the lyrics. Not as well known as Bock and Harnick's Fiddler on the Roof, the show has a light middle-European flavor and includes the standouts "Dear Friend," "Ice Cream," "Tonight at Eight" and "Will He Like Me?"
