Draco R Jan 2, 2019 I saw this flick a long time ago, I thought it was funny, but looking at it now, about 50 years later, it strikes me as just not morally right, especially since in reality, Dick Powell was 50, not the age he was supposed to be--35, and he looked more like 60. Debbie Reynolds was supposed to be 17 and in reality was 22. The age difference is just too much to be anything but obscene. And for the police to leave a 17 year old with a man even 35 is downright immoral, too! The plot of this whole movie is just wrong! See more

Han W Dec 28, 2018 I know this movie was "of its time " but even then men over 30 who got involved with 17 year old girls, " written consent of her mother " or not, all nice and legal in Vegas or not, were considered a little creepy. In 2019, Debbie Reynolds slavishly cleaning, reciting drink recipes to prove her "worth" and mock barking when the guy mentions a little dog is downright stomach turning. Yuck See more

George L Dec 31, 2017 Susan Slept Here is fun film. It is about a screenwriter who is working on a script about juvenile delinquency. Dick Powell and Debbie Reynolds give amazing performances. The screenplay is good but a little slow in places. Frank Tashlin did a great job directing this movie. I enjoyed watching this motion picture because of the humor and drama. Susan Slept Here is a must see. See more

Theodore G Dec 17, 2017 Fun comedy vehicle which flips often between slapstick leanings of a RomCom and pedophilia - wait long enough & it's legal(!). The decor & costumes tend to really play up Reynold's in this Technocolor film. Though her va-voom factor isn't really exploited until the dancing dream sequence. I somehow missed Mr. Benny's cameo, but great to see Alvy, Maide, Ellen, & (for once!) a silent Red among the cast. See more
