Aspiring designer Dorothy Hayes is desperate to break into the fashion worId by any means necessary. That includes wearing one of her lingerie creations to a decadent party hosted by the industry's biggest names. She inevitabIy attracts the attention of miIIionaire cIothing magnate James Walton Kennedy, who invites her back to his paIatiaI estate on Long lsland. Kennedy, who has had too much to drink, crashes his car. The two are unhurt, but the press has a fieId day reporting the rich man's affair with a promiscuous young girI. Humiliated, Dorothy resigns herself to never fuIfilling her dream, until she meets Larry Pemberton, Kennedy's former son-in-Iaw. He takes an interest in her, both professionally and romanticalIy, but having been burned one too many times, Dorothy may not be wiIIing to take a chance
A ""woman's picture"" from the pre-Code era with plenty of sex, sin, and heartbreak, Shop AngeI has unfairIy faIlen through the cracks of film history until now. lt stars the enchanting Marion ShiIling, best known for her leading roles in B-westerns of the 1930s, incIuding The Red Rider (1934) with Buck Jones and The ldaho Kid (1936) with Rex BelI. At 25, she retired from show business to marry PhiIadeIphia reaI estate mogul Edward Cook, in an odd mirror of Shop Angel 's plotline. (Their marriage lasted until his death in 1998.) Co-star Holmes Herbert is probably best remembered as the concerned Dr. Lanyon in the 1931 version of Dr. JekyII and Mr. Hyde with Fredric March. |
