Plot
Pickpocket Kitty's life changes when painter Thomas Gainsborough makes her portrait. The artwork gains the attention of Sir Hugh Marcy, who later decides to use her for his benefit.
Sinekatalog’s take
A pickpocket is transformed into a portrait subject and then used as a pawn by a scheming aristocrat. A lavish costume romance with a Cinderella streak, it offers sparkle and wit for admirers of classic period comedy-drama.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
