'KITTY FOYLE'
At R..K.0. Ginger Rogers is Kitty Foyle. This is in many respects the most unusual motion picture bused on a novel now before the cameras. The hook’s odd quality posed for moviemakers a problem the like of which has never been faced before. It is what critics call a “ stream of consciousness ” narrative. The term derives from the fact that Kitty Foyle, a white collar girl, at an emotional crisis in her career, looks backward and writes of herself as she sees her under the impact of events in other years. Thus, there are actually two Kitty Foyles in the story—the one who lives events and the other who relives them, draws conclusions from them. In the story, which became a bust-seller more than a year ago and still maintains a heavy sale, all this provides a rare flavour which has set tongues wagging. The movie problem was how, in translating the novel to the screen in terms of action, to retain that flavour.
