- desperately-seeking Susan
This is one movie that I'm not overly crazy about. I hate it when Joan's in a movie and she's not the center of attention and she's almost just there to liven things up and capture an audience. Even though the story was built around her character it seemed like she was missing in action for most of the movie (in both mind, body and spirit.) My favorite scene was towards the beginning when Susan made her grand entrance on the speed boat. This movie reminded me of "When Ladies Meet" which is another one that I'm not too crazy about. Excepts for perhaps "Strange Cargo" most of her later MGM pictures weren't nearly as good as the ones she made after or before them. The actor who played her husband in this was certainly no Clark Gable but nevertheless Joan still tries to give it her best shot.

- A Film With Morals
Susan and God is the story of a quarreling superficial woman from high society (Joan Crawford) and her alcoholic husband (Frederic March). When Susan returns home from Europe babbling about God and how enlightened she is, her friends recoil in annoyance. Her husband sees it as an opportunity for them to patch up their severed relationship. The two bet each other that if Barrie does not drink, the two will stay in their summer home with their daughter Blossom (Rita Quigley) and try to live as man and wife.

The film focuses on how hypocritical some Christians are, that most of the time it is the loudest that behave the least Christ-like. It is certainly an interesting, modern topic, and one that Joan Crawford would not be expected to play the lead in. This may be one of the roles ... Read More

- "Susan" is Odd
From the second she steps off the boat for a weekend with her society friends, Joan's "Susan" is a glittery whirling dervish of newfound religious enthusiasm, much to the dismay of her still-jaded companions. Susan's misguided attempts at converting these "worldlings" are the high point of the movie. The excellent supporting characters, played by Ruth Hussey, Nigel Bruce, Rose Hobart, and Rita Hayworth, et al, are all wittily horrified at her meddling in their personal lives, and these scenes zip along with style and verve.

Joan doesn't really have a light comedic touch here, as someone like Carole Lombard might have brought to the role; rather, her Susan is quite high-strung, jittery, feral even---never, even in her earlier flapper roles, have I seen her this jumpy, and her rapid ... Read More

- Joan Crawford In An Enjoyable Non Traditional Role
The beginning of the 1940's decade saw the start of the "changing of the guard", at MGM illustrated in the tapering off of the careers of the resident movie queens of MGM from the 1930's, Norma Shearer, Greta Garbo and Joan Crawford. In her own effort to retain her position in the MGM pecking order Joan Crawford, long dissatisfied with many of the scripts handed to her, began to actively seek out more prestigious vehicles for her future starring roles. When Norma Shearer turned down the lead in the highly successful Rachel Crother play "Susan and God" which had been a smash hit on Broadway starring Gertrude Lawrence, fearing to play the mother of a teenage girl Joan jumped at the chance and turned in one of her most interesting later day MGM performances. Comedy and religion dont normally go ... Read More
