Kitty is a 1945 film, a costume drama set in London during the 1780s, directed by Mitchell Leisen, based on the novel of the same name by Rosamond Marshall. The screenplay is by Karl Tunberg.

Production

The film was based on the 1943 novel Kitty by American Rosamond Marshall. Film rights were bought by Paramount prior to the novel's publication for a reported $50,000.

In October 1943, Paramount announced they would make the film with Paulette Goddard and Ray Milland, with Karl Turnberg and Darrell Ware to write and produce. The novel was published that month.

The New York Times described the released film as being "robust entertainment". By January 1946, the book had sold almost 900,000 copies.

In the original novel, Kitty was a prostitute. The Breen Office, who handled censorship at the time, ruled if this was to be kept in the film version, Kitty would have to die at the end for punishment. The story was changed so Kitty was a pickpocket.

In March 1944, Mitchell Leisen was announced as the director and Cecil Kellaway was cast as Gainsborough.
