Description: The Shopworn Angel (Original screenplay for the 1938 film) Author: H.C. Potter (director); Waldo Salt (screenwriter); James Stewart, Walter Pidgeon, Hattie McDaniel, Margaret Sullavan (starring) Title: The Shopworn Angel (Original screenplay for the 1938 film) Publication: Beverly Hills, CA: Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer [MGM], 1938 Description: Draft script for the 1938 film. Based on the short story "Private Pettigrew's Girl" by Dana Burnet, and published in "The Saturday Evening Post" on September 14, 1918. Copy belonging to an unknown crew member, with manuscript pencil annotations throughout. Jimmy Stewart plays an idealistic soldier who convinces a Broadway star (Margaret Sullavan) to pretend they're dating in order to impress his other soldier friends. Meanwhile, Sullivan's manager (Walter Pidgeon) has always been in love with her, and objects to the pair's closeness, even as they decide to get married before Stewart is shipped out to France. Stewart and Sullivan pull off surprisingly believable roles for a plot of such sickly sweetness in this, their second on-screen pairing. The third film based on Burnet's "Saturday Evening Post" story, the first two being the 1919 George Melford silent film "Pettigrew's Girl," and Richard Wallace's part-talkie "The Shopworn Angel" (1928), starring Gary Cooper.
