Kitty (1929 film)

Kitty is a 1929 British drama film directed by Victor Saville and starring Estelle Brody and John Stuart. The film was adapted from the 1927 novel of the same name by Warwick Deeping and marked the third costar billing of Brody and Stuart, who had previously proved a very popular screen pairing in Mademoiselle from Armentieres 1926 and Hindle Wakes 1927.

In preWorld War I London, handsome young aviator Alex St. George Stuart meets and falls in love with shopgirl Kitty Greenwood Brody. He asks her to marry him, to the horror of his snobbish, classbound mother Dorothy Cumming, who is appalled by the notion of her son marrying into a family who run a tobacconists shop. Before the wedding can take place, war breaks out and Alex is called up to serve as a pilot.Seeing her opportunity to sabotage the relationship, Mrs. St. George sets about trying to poison Alexs mind against Kitty by feeding him via letter a string of malicious and false tales about Kittys behaviour, alleging that in his absence she is frequently to be seen around town flirting and behaving in an improper manner with other young men. Alex becomes so unnerved and distraught about his mothers stories that his concentration is affected and he crashes his plane, suffering not only critical injuries which leave him in danger of paralysis, but also amnesia. ........
