Susan Slade
It’s a mistake to self-righteously judge the story of Susan Slade and Dorothy McGuire’s character by today’s sensibilities.
As Dorothy McGuire says near the end of the film, “love is understanding.” That’s a message that should speak to any time.
Literate, corny, beautifully photographed and scored, Susan Slade is pure soap opera elevated to the realm of high art through the brilliance of Delmer Daves’ direction.
