Movie Info

Rachel Crothers' thoughtful stage play Susan and God was tastefully adapted for the screen by Anita Loos. Joan Crawford stars as Susan, whose unquestioning devotion to various religious organizations causes a great deal of strain between herself and her family. When Susan embraces a "New Thought" theological movement, she decides to apply the tenets of this new philosophy to patch up the unhappy marriages within her own social circles. She succeeds only in making things worse, and in further

One of George Cukor's worst films due to lack of sympathetic charcater, made worse by Joan Crawford's lackluster performance; MGM queen Norma Shearer turned down the role because she didn't want to play a mature woman with children!

Audience Reviews for Susan and God

After norna Sheer said no to playing the mother of a teenage daughter Joan napped up this role fast! Under cukors fast pased direction Joan handles the scatter brained role of susan quite well,although the movie falls a lil flat near the end. still a great Joan role that lead to one of her finest under cukor in A WOMAN"S FACE.

SURPRISINGLY GOOD JOAN CRAWFORD MOVIE, AND SHE MAKES THE BEST OF A ROLE TAILOR MADE FOR MGM DIVA NORMA SHEARER. 1940 WAS NOT A TIME WHEN JOAN CRAWFORD WAS AT ALL REGARDED AS A GREAT ACTRESS, BUT THIS ROLE WAS IMPORTANT EXPOSURE FOR HER AND CRITICAL FOR HER RECEIVING BETTER ROLES DOWN THE ROAD. IT WAS ALSO AN IMPORTANT FILM FOR BUDDING STAR RITA HAYWORTH. AS A FILM IT'S PRETTY GOOD, AND IT'S FUN TO WATCH CRAWFORD SINK HER TEETH INTO THE ROLE OF SUSAN.
