Kitty

Amusing and witty story of a street girl (Paulette Goddard) in 18th century London, who rises to become a duchess.

Of particular note is Constance Collier, showing off a brilliant flare for comedy as Lady Susan Dowitt, an aging courtesan who instructs Goddard in matters of gentility. Constance had a long career on stage and screen going back to the silent era, and this film displays her talents as a fine comedienne.
