The story

Kitty Foyle, a young Irish American saleswoman in a New York City boutique owned by Delphine Detaille, faces a life-changing decision: marry her fiancé, a poor doctor named Mark Eisen, or run away to South America with a rich man she has loved for many years, the married Wyn Strafford, who is about to leave his wife and young son. She is on the verge of choosing Wyn and, as she wrestles with her choice, the film flashes back to her youth in Philadelphia. As a teenager, Kitty gawks at the city's elite Main Liners in a parade that precedes their annual Assembly Ball.
