Through marriage to the Duke of Malmunster (Reginald Owen), Kitty becomes a duchess, but, as she rises in the social world, it becomes obvious that class distinctions do not change basic personalities. 1 User Review

| | Pre-Pretty Woman/My Fair Lady | Hedy 07/11/2012 | "Kitty" is one of the original Pygmaillion story lines. The novel was pretty racy for it's time and toned down quite a bit in this film. Milland is a very convincing scoundrel and Goddard was pretty good coming from the gutter to become a duchess but ConstanceCollier, as Lady Susan, was great. Unfortunately her scenes were cut short and left the film wanting with the expected ending.
Every young girl aught to see this fun film for a liberal education. |
