Suzy (1936)


Suzy
is a little clunky, but it's hard to mind. Everyone in it is fun, and Cary Grant and Franchot Tone are both doing the things that made them perfect leading men. Jean Harlow is particularly enchanting, though. I do love a war-pilot movie, although all the footage from this one was apparently cut from Hawks' Hell's Angels. Still, I have no complaints, really.

I watched this on the Criterion Channel as part of a series of films starring Jean Harlow.
