Kitty (1945)

Instant Favorite.

i must have seen a different film!!

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

If you have not seen this film, you are missing a great classic film. Director Mitchell Leisen's skill with art design, his precise handling of actors, and an attention to detail are quite obvious. What is also obvious is that the picture's sets and furniture have that grandiose William Hearst feel to it. Later, I was not surprised to find out that Leisen had indeed borrowed items from Hearst . Maybe the publishing magnate was hoping that Paramount's director would cast main squeeze Marion Davies in the title role. That obviously did not happen. But we do have Paulette Goddard, who despite the dazzling array of Hearst treasures, is perhaps the most ornate piece of set décor on screen.

Some 20 years ago, I left my VCR recording late at night, there used to be good movies on TV at 3 or 4 a.m. I expected to enjoy the movie, but I didn't know it was going to be the movie of my life! I just love it! I kept the VHS for years, unfortunately, I moved and I lost it. I still hope some day we'll get a DVD edition for it would be a pity such an excellent movie could fall into oblivion without letting everybody enjoy it. I particularly enjoyed seeing the evolution of Paulette, she goes from a guttersnipe to a lady and the transformation is perfect.."she's become that lady"..and she really had.. "Love a duck me pearls!" "Sir, a joke is never as funny the second time".DVD NOW!!!

I can add little more to the other comments that have been made. This is a fantastic movie and well worth a proper DVD release - it is superior to a lot of other stuff that is commercially available. I'm sure its relatively low IMDb rating is because so few people have seen it.The acting is superb (my favourite being Cecil Kellaway's Gainsborough), the art direction and period recreation exquisite, and Mitchell Leisen keeps the story moving right along. The script has absorbing dramatic moments counterbalanced by humour (especially Kitty's training as a lady). An especially good moment is the Duke of Malmunster's reaction to the birth of his first born and his walk along the corridor/stairs which is inspired direction.A true 1940s classic.

I love this movie it is one of the greats. I want to get this movie but I don't think I can get it on VHS or DVD anywhere. If anyone can help me find it it would be greatly appreciated. This movie got me into watching classic movies. I recored it off the TV a long time ago and it was the movie I always watched when I was sick. Unfortunately my VHS tape is going back and the quality stinks. But I love this movie the costumes the actors everything we just don't have that kind of romantic drama anymore. The old black and whites you just can't beat them. This movie was just great its like an old fashioned My Fair lady without all the singing. So if anyone knows how I can find this movie please help me!!!!
