Working-class Philadelphia teen Kitty Foyle (Ginger Rogers) dreams of life in the city's fashionable society circles, but when she impulsively weds her former boss, wealthy Wyn Strafford (Dennis Morgan), his family disapproval is too severe for the young couple to overcome. Working in New York as a salesgirl in a fancy department store, Kitty meets and falls for kindhearted doctor Mark Eisen (James Craig), but when the remarried Wyn asks her to run away with him, she faces a difficult choice.

2.5/5

Pat Graham Chicago Reader Jan 31, 2012

Rey R Sep 2, 2018 Quite a modern view, given when it was made, yet I'm fascinated by comparing the book and the movie.
