No, but the main character does lie to the love interest at the end, deliberately making up a false scenario to disillusion her, before revealing the truth.

Not exactly and it doesn't happen on screen. A female character makes an offhanded comment about her former job, and how when her male boss wanted her help in the stockroom, that's not what he "really" wanted.

Film was made in 1940, long before 9/11. Not an issue here!

After threatening suicide, a man admits himself to a hospital for several weeks. Though it's likely a mental hospital, it just looks like a regular hospital and there's nothing sad or scary about it.

No one dies by suicide, but a character attempts it. They are saved by a co-worker.

Not really but a character does dismiss mental illness as being less important than physical illness only to be corrected and another character teasingly wants to check another doesn't have bow legs
