Movie Info

Susan Trexel (Joan Crawford) returns home from Europe, bursting to share her spiritual transformation with her friends. Although Susan's estranged husband, Barrie (Fredric March) pleads for a reunion, Susan goes to stay with a friend and, acting upon her certainty that everyone can benefit from the truth, begins meddling in the lives of her friend's family. Barrie convinces Susan to act on her own beliefs and give him and their daughter, Blossom, another chance, but Susan remains smugly aloof.

Critic Reviews for Susan and God

All Critics (1) | Rotten (1)

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

Jan 18, 2014

Odd film especially for a Crawford vehicle about a shallow socialite who takes up religion on a whim with an overly simplistic ending. Suffers from not having anyone to really root for outside the minor character of the main character's daughter Blossom. Both Joan and March's characters are selfish and for the most part thoughtless fools. This was the screen debut, in a wordless bit, of Susan Peters and Dan Dailey in a slightly larger part. Also keep a sharp eye out for Joan Leslie and Gloria De Haven in tiny parts just starting out. Someone who has a larger part and actually attracted quite a bit of notice in it moving her forward to larger parts than she had been cast previously is Rita Hayworth. She's ravishing although not quite fully arrived at her star persona just yet. Still a brunette she handles her small supporting role well injecting a touch of pathos into a sketchily drawn part.
