Review of Suzy

Suzy (1936)
8/10
Harlow's gold again in war
28 August 2022
The movie starts off with New York chorus girl getting a fresh start in Europe. Looking for a wealthy noble to marry(aren't all girls?)This may seem quite predictable especially for the period but is honestly obvious to include, then and now. She meets Tone who is just a regular joe who works in a factory unbeknownst to him is run by kraut spies. After proposing to Suzy,he is shot and Suzy is suspect. Afterward she high tails it to the mainland and meets Grant while doing her torch song routine in a nightclub. As the movie proceeds all three players are caught up in the war with a tragic end for one in the climatic finale. Movie isn't perfect mainly due to absence of period clothing and Tone's horrible accent but otherwise because of Harlow it is still great. Her body of work is some of the most watchable in film history. Never has there been a more intensely likeable star in the storied annals of Hollywood.
