Kitty Foyle

Plots: A hard-working white-collar girl from a middle-class family meets and falls in love with a young socialite, but she soon clashes with his family. A white-collar worker from a blue-collar family, Kitty Foyle has spent her short adult life in her hometown of Philadelphia or New York City. She has had two serious relationships, one associated with each city and each man with whom she falls in love but in vastly different ways. “Philadelphia” is blue-blooded Wyn Strafford VI. Wyn, editor of his pet-project magazine funded by family money, hires Kitty to be his secretary. Kitty’s now-deceased father, despite liking Wyn as a person, warned Kitty against falling in love with him, regardless of his outward intentions, as his type always returned to his own kind. If she believes her father, Kitty might realize that a union with Wyn would mean a union with his family and their traditions as well. After the magazine folds, Kitty is forced to look for another job and thinks she might have more opportunities in New York City. Working as a sales associate at upscale Delphine Detaille parfumerie and cosmetics, Kitty meets “New York City” Mark Eisen. Mark is a public-health doctor who makes little money so is very careful about how he spends it. Each man proposes a future together with Kitty, and the two futures look very different. Which future, which man, which love, will she choose? Working-class Philadelphia teen Kitty Foyle dreams of life in the city’s fashionable society circles, but when she impulsively weds her former boss, wealthy Wyn Strafford, his family disapproval is too severe for the young couple to overcome. Working in New York as a salesgirl in a fancy department store, Kitty meets and falls for kindhearted doctor Mark Eisen, but when the remarried Wyn asks her to run away with him, she faces a difficult choice.
