Ginger Rogers, as the titular character, gives a very moving performance, for which she won an Academy Award, as a woman torn between two men. The two male leads, Dennis Morgan and James Craig, are also excellent. The message of the movie seems to be that one should forsake passionate romantic love and settle for stability. Of course there are extenuating circumstances in Kitty's situation, notably her class status and the Depression, but the message doesn't seem to be very idealistic. I guess in those more religious times unmarried women cohabiting with men was frowned upon quite severely. I heard this movie was based on a book. I wonder, what does Wyn do in South America without Kitty? Does he still pursue his divorce? Great film, 9/10.
