Susan And God

Wealthy, impulsive Susan Trexel undergoes a religious conversion, one undoubtedly destined to last as long as this seasons hemline length. But in the meantime, Susan insists everyone around her including her neglected husband and child alter their lives (and loves) to conform to her latest whim. A sterling cast highlights this witty comedy-drama: Joan Crawford, Fredric March, Ruth Hussey, Nigel Bruce, John Carroll and a pre-stardom Rita Hayworth. For Crawford, Susan and God (headlined on Broadway by the formidable Gertrude Lawrence) was her chance to play a more nuanced part than her typical shopgirl-makes-good characters. As she famously declared to studio brass in her campaign to win the role of Susan, Id play Wally Beerys grandmother if its a good part. It is!
