Who Am I This Time?

From the public library's movie collection, I watched a 1982 movie, Who Am I This Time? While not generally a great movie, it has a sweet story line around a dreadfully shy hardware clerk (who is a brilliant actor on the community stage) and a lonely, new clerk in town. What I found most fascinating was the use of various plays to tell critical pieces of the story. With scenes from A Street Car Named Desire, Romeo and Juliet, and The Importance of Being Earnest crammed into this 60-minute movie, there are almost more lines from other plays than there are lines original to this movie.
