The Convergence of Love and Class in the Choice of Kitty Foyle .
The film "Kitty Foyle" (RKO Radio Pictures, 1941) may be dismissed by some as a "women's picture" or a "tear-jerker". However, such a dismissal would ignore the complexities with which the film depicted women's lives and American society at the end of the Great Depression and on the eve of the Second World War. In this context, it may be argued that the most interesting aspect of the film is how it represents the choice that Kitty Foyle must make, between the two men in her life, as a conflict of romance and class. 2 pgs. 3 f/c. 3b.
