Susan Trexel returns home from Europe, bursting to share her spiritual transformation with her friends. Although Susan's estranged husband, Barrie, pleads for a reunion, Susan goes to stay with a friend and, acting upon her certainty that everyone can benefit from the truth, begins meddling in the lives of her friend's family. Barrie convinces Susan to act on her own beliefs and give him and their daughter, Blossom, another chance, but Susan remains smugly aloof.

Smartly cast, deftly directed and elaborately mounted. Go to Full Review
Bosley Crowther New York Times Jan 28, 2006
March is strangely listless in an aggravating role. Ruth Hussey and Marjorie Main stand out in a competent cast which mostly plays at being Long Island hedonists. Perhaps they even do too good a job in setting a vapid and inconsequential tone. Go to Full Review
George Orwell Time and Tide Oct 2, 2023
This film, amusing in parts, is a not too happy mixture of satire and sentiment. Go to Full Review

One of George Cukor's worst films due to lack of sympathetic charcater, made worse by Joan Crawford's lackluster performance; MGM queen Norma Shearer turned down the role because she didn't want to play a mature woman with children! Go to Full Review

Anita Loos' adaptation of the successful drama by Rachel Crothers was actually better than the play's script. Go to Full Review

Abraham S Mar 30, 2018 Probably the most irritating character Crawford ever played as a deluded socialite who feels she's found god and foists it on those around here to their detriment. Of course her family suffers. Interesting as an artifact. See more
