EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the British Film Institute, we are transported back to 1940, a time when Hollywood icons Frederic March and Joan Crawford graced the silver screen in George Cukor's masterpiece "Susan and God". The image captures a moment of intense emotion between these two legendary actors, showcasing their undeniable chemistry onscreen. Frederic March, known for his versatility as an actor, exudes charm and sophistication in this still. His expressive eyes convey a depth of character that draws us into the scene. Meanwhile, Joan Crawford radiates elegance and poise as she shares the frame with him. Her magnetic presence is palpable; it's no wonder why she was considered one of cinema's greatest leading ladies. "Susan and God" tells the story of Susan Trexel (played by Crawford), a socialite who undergoes a spiritual awakening after attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. Frederic March portrays her estranged husband Barrie Trexel, whose relationship with Susan becomes increasingly strained due to her newfound faith. This particular photograph perfectly encapsulates the film's dramatic essence - capturing both vulnerability and tension within its subjects' expressions. It serves as a testament to Cukor's directorial prowess in bringing out nuanced performances from his talented cast. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of the timeless allure of classic cinema – where artistry meets storytelling at its finest.
