Susan and God (1940)
6/10
a genuinely odd film
4 June 2006
Warning: Spoilers
Wow. This was one odd little Joan Crawford flick! Joan is a self-centered spoiled rich lady. And then suddenly, she has a religious conversion and she spends all her energy on God. The problem is, that is soon becomes apparent that the self-centered and histrionic lady is actually the SAME person she always was--she just annoys everyone around her in a new way by talking about God. At times, she talks as if she has somehow found a direct link to God and has "inside information". Her conceit is incredible. And, by the end of the film, this dizzy and shallow dame is on to her next obsession.

Overall, this isn't a great film--especially since Joan's character is awfully broad and difficult to believe. But it is entertaining and strange enough to merit a look.
