Radio review - Lux - "Kitty Foyle" (1941) ***

The Best Actress Oscar is known for being given to capital A Actors giving capital P performances but Ginger Rogers won one for a natural, unmannered performance as a girl next door who falls in love with a rich man, and is tempted to run off with him despite him being married and the love of a good, poor doctor (even though he's poor it's not like picking someone who's going to be permanently poor though). The fact she falls pregnant to the rich dude prior to marriage isn't as clear here. Dennis Morgan and James Craig repeat their screen performances and are ideal handbags - its' one of Rogers' best performances.
