Title: Heart Rending Depiction of Class and Gender
Product review: "Kitty Foyle" is a provocative depiction of class and gender politics during the era preceding World War II in America. The film bluntly displays how your happiness could be impeded by your station in life and if you are a woman it's that much harder. There are no real villains in the piece other than the archaic mores set down for generations. Interesting, though based on a novel by Christopher Morley, the script was adapted by Dalton Trumbo who would later be blacklisted. Ginger Rogers, in a performance of great strength and nuance, more than earned her Oscar for her work here. Those who would dismiss her as Fred Astaire's dance partner should check out her work in films like "42nd Street" and "Stage Door".
