Review Summary and Plot Commentary about The Shopworn Angel
As a naive hick-gone-soldier from Texas in World War I, Jimmy Stewart feels discouraged by all the boys who have girls waiting for their return. He pretends to be involved with a Broadway dancer who agrees to play along, although her other lover struggles with jealousy towards the wide-eyed Stewart.
--Angela Allan, Resident Scholar
