Joan Crawford reveals one of her rarely displayed talents--a unique sense of comic timing--in this lively, and still timely, satire on religious cultism in which a frivolous, wealthy matron finds God, and nearly destroys the lives of several loved ones in the process. Gavin Lambert cites one of the film's highlights, "the Moral Rearmament jamboree--a very good scene, almost spookily topical, with its earnest, self-righteous, Billy Grahamish feeling," and Cukor himself comments, "The studio took a chance in making it, in a way, but then the big companies often took more chances than they're credited with...." Rachel Crothers' original stage play--in which Gertrude Lawrence played Susan--is pruned and strengthened by screenwriter Anita Loos, and Crawford's interpretation lends character to the caricatured original.
