Source

The play Parfumerie by Miklos Laszlo is the only credited source, but Ernst Lubitsch's 1940 film The Shop Around the Corner, adapted from the play, is an uncredited source, with the musical apparently utilizing elements from the film that are not in the play. (Samson Raphaelson wrote the screenplay.) Pre-opening press reports seem to have only mentioned the film. In a 1993 New York Times article, it was stated that Joe Masteroff said that he based his book more closely on the film than on the play.
