    • Trivia
      Among the many letters that Ginger Rogers received for her work in the film, this was the one that she treasured the most: "Hello Cutie-- Saw 'Kitty' last night and must write this note to say 'That's it!' Yes, yes, a thousand times yes! You were superb, Ginge--it was such a solid performance--the kind one seldom sees on stage or screen and it should bring you the highest honors anyone can win!! Hope to see you soon, As ever your, Fred."
    • Goofs
      When Kitty and Wyn are in a speakeasy, the 1932 election returns are being broadcast over the radio. The announcer says that FDR has won Pennsylvania; Hoover won Pennsylvania in the election.

    Outstanding- Rogers and Morgan are great.

    A love story, mostly drama, some comedy, set in the backdrop of Philadelphia main line society in the 1920s/1930s. Rogers is great as the working girl heroine- Kitty Foyle, but so is Morgan as the wealthy socialite, Wynn Stafford. Rogers won the Oscar for her role. I don't know why Morgan doesn't get more recognition for his role; he was always underrated. James Craig is perfect as the other man in the triangle- the earnest, struggling young doctor. A warm, romantic movie- the kind which is rarely made today.
