I enjoyed this very much,Ginger Rogers is a delight in this picture. She can play the good and the bad with the best of them and can get any man she wants with her charm and wit. awesome Movie!!!

Any best actress oscar winner of 1940 would have been controversial. I think Ginger deserved it as well as any of the others. She is wonderful in this drama, and she portrays KItty with a certain realness. watch her facial expressions. I believe that Ginger had the most expressive and beautiful eyes in hollywood history. after losing her baby in childbirth, kitty's look on her face whenever she sees a child afterwards is devestating. the whole cast is fine, and you could cut Gin and Dennis Morgan's chemistry with a knife. Ginger had a strange power to bring out so much chemistry from all her leading men. In the early scenes, she is adorable as little kitty. I don't believe that this is a soap opera, because the situations are NOT ridiculous and the characters are very real, but nevertheless it is a heavier type of drama, so don't expect a SWING TIME-like experience, and keep the tissues handy. I highly recommend this film, not only for Ginger's performance, but for the movie as a whole.

Ginger Rogers dazzled me with her simplistic character of Kitty Foyle. In a performance of a woman with no social status, but charms the hearts of two men, one of which may be too high in class for her, so his family feels. It is a movie that has you almost sure of who she loves, but totally surprises you in the end. Enjoy it, and I hope you love it as much as I did!

This is one of my all-time favorite old movies. I believe that Ginger Rogers definitely earned the Academy Award against some stiff competition. I have watched "Kitty Foyle" around ten times, and it gets better each time. Ginger gives a spectacular performance, and the movie itself is well-constructed. It is interesting to see the character's interactions with two very different men, and there's the suspense of wondering which she will choose. Enjoy!

I believe Ginger Rogers won an Academy award for her role in this movie. Though I liked her with Fred Astaire, she really became quite the actress in this movie. She is taken advantage of by a wealthy very married man, telling her how he loved her and that he was going to leave his wife, etc, etc. She became pregnant and in those days that was a scandal to say the least...you have to see the movie to really enjoy Ginger at a great time in her life. I say her at Disney World in a parade with Mickey and Minnie after she had a stroke and rather drunk besides...she will always bring fond memories back to me of that era...Thanks Ginger

Ginger Rogers is superb in this film. She is "Kitty Foyle." It is easy to see why the producers wanted her. She won the Oscar for this performance and I don't think that anyone could argue about it. RKO had to considerably rework the story in this adaptation of the book. They did admirably, but it is Ginger's film. She becomes the working girl of all time, spunky, proud, smart, hard-working and filled with a sense of integrity. It's quite an extraordinary achievement.

This movie is amazing. It is a "chick flick" for the ages. One thing that makes a movie a classic is that it is timeless. My mother watched this movie when she was a lyoung girls, and niw that she is a mother she made me watch it with her, and I loved it. I made my friends, who don't normally like black and white films watch this, and they all loved. That is what makes a movie a classic. The fact that the theme of the movie can reach out to people from generation to generation. Ginger does an excellent job and ever viewer is able to sympathize with her situation some how. The movie is suspenseful, and romantic and it leaves the viewer feeling better after the movie because they were able to see it.

When I first saw this drama/comedy/melodrama, I had nearly cried at Ginger Rogers' Oscar winning performance. This was her best role. Such a creative joy to watch, I only hated one thing about it; when the screen read THE END after the 108 minutes! This movie was a masterpiece. I loved how Kitty met all her men "by chance", and the somewhat ironical ending. This is a true recommendation for any age. When I first saw it, I rented it for free at my local library, and now I'm thinking of buying it. Thanks a million for my library for bringing it to me for free the first time around!

This is Ginger's finest role...she is perfect as the young women torn between two men...if you're looking for a suspensful movie, this one will keep you on the edge until the last second.
