(1938) Shopworn Angel
ROMANTIC DRAMA/ WAR
Second retelling of the story written by Dana Burnet for the "Saturday Evening Post", with the first version already released in 1928 starring Gary Cooper and Nancy Carroll! Resonating story involves wealthy ignorant (about the war) stage actress Daisy Heath played by Margaret O' Sullivan accidentally meeting Pvt. William 'Texas' Pettigrew (James Stewart) and as she hangs around with him- her whole demeanor starts to change with a more appreciation for life! Although, the story was originally made during WWI- this film can just be as relevant to WWII. To fully appreciate this film, one has to first be aware about it's year which was in 1938, one year before WWII started which was in September 1939 and is very self explainable. This is also the second of four movies James Stewart starred with actress Margaret O' Sullivan.
