Trivia
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 The Rage of Paris (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.

Errores
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.)

Simple, yet subtle. A minor classic.

The Waldo Salt screenplay takes a small story and develops it into an affecting portrait of three surprisingly convincing and complex human characters, all of whom transcend the typical dramatic constraints of late '30s Hollywood. All three principals turn in excellent, low-key performances in perfect keeping with the film's narrative strengths. I find it particularly interesting to compare this with the other bookend to Salt's screenwriting career, Coming Home, also a character-driven story that revolves around the complex, three-way relationship between a woman and the two men who love her in a time of war.
