F M I enjoy watching this movie over and over again. Love Franchot and Jean together. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/11/24 Full Review Jay F That Jean Harlow sure is one saucy dish. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/10/23 Full Review steve d Only notable for its cast. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is all over the map. The casting couch, racetrack gambling, whirlwind romance, espionage, cold blooded murder, some songs (including Cary Grant briefly singing), adultery, fiery crashes, aerial dogfighting, and a good dose of melodrama besides. I like Jean Harlow and she's effective at making us care for her character in this film, conveying a sense of sweetness and vulnerability while at the same time being a bit of a gold-digger initially. Unfortunately, her acting is sorely lacking in several scenes. She's better in 'Libeled Lady' and 'Wife vs. Secretary', both of which were also made in 1936, and in many of her other roles. Franchot Tone's Irish accent comes and goes somewhat comically, but he's also likeable, and had some nice banter with Harlow. It's interesting to see Cary Grant as an aerial ace and obnoxious playboy, though it's kind of funny to think he's supposed to be French. The real trouble, though, is the film is a not well executed mix of romance, drama, and comedy. Such a combination is difficult, and while it strikes the right balance in first half hour, it goes downhill from there, with plot holes and some pretty ridiculous scenes. You can definitely do better. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Great cast. Harlow, Grant Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review ashley h Suzy is an amazing film. It is about Suzy who flees to Paris where she meets and marries a WWI pilot. Cary Grant and Jean Harlow give incredible performances. The screenplay is good but a little slow in places. George Fitzmaurice did a great job directing this movie. I enjoyed watching this motion picture because of the drama. Suzy is a must see. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
