Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Shopworn Angel is a 1938 film directed by H.C. Potter, starring Margaret Sullavan, James Stewart, and Walter Pidgeon. It was the third screen adaptation of Dana Burnet's 1918 short story "Private Pettigrew's Girl".The year is 1917. Daisy Heath (Sullavan) is a hard-drinking, hard-partying, hard-living actress and performer on the New York stage, presently headlining a Broadway musical revue. She is also in what appears to be a sort of casual sex relationship with Sam Bailey (Pidgeon), the boss of the revue. The United States has just entered World War I, but with all the wild parties she goes to and all the hangovers she has afterwards, Daisy hardly notices.Also in New York is Bill Pettigrew (Stewart), a country boy from Texas who joined the army at the outbreak of war and is undergoing basic training in a camp outside the city. After Daisy's chauffeur nearly runs Bill over in the street, an irate traffic cop orders her to give Bill a ride back to the army base. Bill's buddies back at the base are boggled when he is dropped off by a gorgeous actress riding in a fancy car. Bill starts telling lies about how she's his childhood sweetheart, which leads his buddies to demand he back his stories up, which leads to Bill shamefacedly approaching Daisy and asking her to pretend to be his sweetheart—and sure enough, sparks start to fly between them. Sparks which Sam Bailey, who is witty and urbane and the polar opposite of guileless hick Bill, does not like at all.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Notable for having the first credited screenplay by Waldo Salt, who decades later would win Oscars for Midnight Cowboy and Coming Home.note Salt had helped to write The Bride Wore Red a year earlier but received no credit for doing so. | |

Anguished Declaration of Love: Bill, who's gone AWOL to see Daisy as his troop transport is leaving in a matter of hours, finally spits it out as they are dancing. They hurriedly get married before he leaves, even though Daisy's figured out by now that she really loves Sam. | |

| The Shopworn Angel / int_40bb59d0 | comment |
Blatant Lies: Bill, basking in the admiration after Daisy drops him off at the camp, starts telling tall tales about how she's his long-time sweetheart. The other soldiers call his bluff and demand to meet Daisy, and, much to Bill's relief, she plays along. | |
