Kitty Foyle (1940)

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?
