Kitty Foyle (1940)
4/10
Tepid "classic" does not withstand the test of time
4 January 2001
Ginger Rogers won her only Oscar for this overblown soap opera. Go figure. The morality ladled out in this tripe was outdated even when it was released, and Ginger's dialogue with Dennis Morgan seems forced and artificial. And Ginger's character goes from self-absorbed to "noble" so quickly, it begs more questions than she answers. For truly classic "women's films" of this era, see Stella Dallas, Mildred Pierce, Now Voyager, or The Women and leave this museum-piece of a film alone.
