Susan Slade (1961)
7/10
Soapy, soapy fun

If you liked Peyton Place, you've got to check out Susan Slade. It's so soapy, you'll be talking about the suds for days! I love movies like these, so I was perfectly happy with it.

Dorothy McGuire and Lloyd Nolan are returning home to the United States on an ocean liner, and their naïve daughter, Connie Stevens, gets seduced by the world-wise Grant Williams. Grant and Connie go their separate ways with their separate families, but there's a lasting consequence to their affair... Connie hesitates to tell her parents, especially because her father needs extra rest and has taken a relaxing job from his old pal, Brian Aherne.

Trust me, you're going to like this one. Domestic, suburban dramas are so much fun, especially in the lush, Technicolor era of the late '50s and early '60s.
