Curiosidades
Broadway musical-comedy star Mary Martin provides the singing voice for Margaret Sullavan. This same year she also dubbed the singing voice for Gypsy Rose Lee in Battle of Broadway (1938). Modern sources indicate that Universal's La sensación de París (1938), which was filmed at approximately the same time as The Shopworn Angel was Martin's first film "bit" role. According to records of the M-G-M Music Collection at the USC Cinema-Television Library, Martin's recording of "Pack Up Your Troubles in Your Old Kit Bag and Smile, Smile, Smile was made on 1 June 1938.

Pifias
Bill mails his postcards after leaving the soda fountain, seemingly without putting any stamps on them, but on one shot while he's sitting at the lunch counter you can see stamps on the cards. However, in the next close-up, just before he leaves, the cards are unstamped. The likely reason is that all the closeup shots where he's writing on the blank cards were filmed together with the same camera setup, and the long shots were shot later after stamps were added. (Perhaps they filmed a scene of Bill buying and affixing stamps but decided not to use it.)

"I'd rather eat bread than wait around for hot apple pie."

Shy young soldier James Stewart is picked on by his fellow soldiers for not being a ladies man. Jaded showgirl Margaret Sullavan agrees to help him out by pretending to be his girlfriend. He quickly falls in love with her for real but things are complicated by his having to ship out for the war and her already having a boyfriend (Walter Pidgeon).

The second of four movies pairing Stewart and Sullavan. Their chemistry is remarkable as always. This one doesn't turn out how you might think and I can easily see many viewers being disappointed. It builds up towards one thing but shifts gears 3/4 of the way through and becomes something else. I still enjoyed it, though.
