Curious, but completely shallow comedy-drama, adapted from Rachel Crothers' play and directed by George Cuckor no less. Joan Crawford stars in the practically-unplayable role of Susan, a wealthy, silly socialite who gets religion. Susan tries turning her nitwit friends onto God, making her an outcast with the country club set. Subject matter, though odd and interesting for Hollywood in 1940, somehow manages to get all fouled up in this screen-translation, with hopeless writing and characters. Promising supporting cast, including Frederic March, Rita Hayworth, Gloria DeHaven and Marjorie Main, can't do much to pick up the slack. *1/2 from ****
