You will certainly be reminded of "My Fair Lady" when you see this film.
Paulette Goddard has an authentic cockney-ed accent for the main role. She gets wonderful support by Reginald Owen, Ray Milland, Patric Knowles and Sara Allgood.
This is another rags to riches story with Kitty starting out as a street urchin,kept by Allgood until she literally stumbles into the orbit of painter Cecil Kellaway and rises through two marriages to a ladyship. It is almost comic the way that Kitty goes through those marriages and is widowed accordingly each time.
Milland is excellent in the role of the man who works with Kitty to make her a lady, while never realizing that she loves him until she almost ready to take husband #3 in the form of the Knowles character.
This basic story of social class in 1783 England is unique and quite memorable.
