Added DiffLines:
''Suzy'' is a 1936 film directed by George Fitzmaurice, starring Creator/JeanHarlow, Franchot Tone, and Creator/CaryGrant.
Suzanne Trent (Harlow) is an American showgirl in London in 1914. Suzy has grown tired of struggling on the fringes of show business and has decided to use her good looks to land a rich husband. Instead, she winds up falling for Terry Moore (Tone), a humble but smart fellow who works in a factory and has invented his own aircraft stabilizer.
Suzy and Terry get married. But just a few hours after saying their vows, Terry gets shot--it turns out that his boss at the factory was a German spy. When the landlady screams "She did it!" as Suzy bends over the body of her husband, Suzy dives out the window and runs for her life, running all the way to France.
The movie's set in 1914 for a reason, as Suzy makes it to Paris just in time for UsefulNotes/WorldWarI to break out. She gets a job as a singer in a nightclub, and meets handsome, rich French flying ace Andre Charville (Grant). Andre sweeps Suzy off her feet, and she gets married again. Unfortunately she doesn't know two things. First, the suave, charming Andre is actually a cad who basically forgets about Suzy after a while and cheats on her every second that he can. Second, Terry isn't dead.
Only film pairing of Grant and Harlow, Jean Harlow dying of kidney failure a year later. A rare example of Cary Grant playing an unsympathetic character.

!!Tropes:
* AccidentalAdultery: Accidental bigamy, as Suzy is shocked to find out that Terry is still alive.
* BuxomIsBetter: Andre's buddy approves of Suzy.
--> '''Andre''': What does she look like? Thick or thin?\\
'''The buddy''': Mixed, but in the right places.
* CallBack: Andre's father says that when Andre was a little boy and his father was scolding him, Andre would say "Make a smile" and his father would smile. As he's dying, Andre does the same with Suzy.
* CastingCouch: A slimy producer makes a very thinly veiled demand for sex with Suzy. When she refuses he refuses to give her the part in the chorus.
* ChorusGirls: They don't even do any leg kicking, but early in the movie Suzy has an audition that provides an excuse for the camera to pan down a long line of chorus girls wearing short shorts.
* EekAMouse: Why Suzy causes a clattering racket in Terry's apartment, while clad in pajamas, causing a flirtatious moment when he comes dashing in.
* EveryCarIsAPinto: Maybe a car that was being strafed by an airplane
* FemmeFataleSpy: Dark, sexy Diane, who shoots Terry in London and then, back in France, seduces Andre.
* AFoggyDayInLondonTown: The London fog sets up the MeetCute, as Terry's car runs into Suzy on a foggy London street.
* GenreMishmash: An odd mixture of Jean Harlow romcom and World War I spy fiction.
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: How Suzy reveals she has a sugar daddy. She gives a broke showgirl some money and says it's from her rich uncle. When the showgirl expresses surprise that Suzy has an uncle in London, she says "I haven't got any relatives anywhere, but I got a rich uncle."
* {{Golddigger}}: Suzy is utterly unashamed about it, saying that she's sick of struggling to make it as a performer, she's good-looking, and she wants a rich husband to take care of her.
* INeverSaidItWasPoison: How Diane is exposed. Terry says they saw her at Schmidt's factory, Diane says she's never even heard of Mrs. Schmidt, and Terry nails her with "Then how did you know it was ''Mrs''. Schmidt?"
* MeetCute: Suzy is carelessly striding across a foggy street when Terry hits her with his car. Luckily he's traveling very slowly so she's only knocked down.
* NoRomanticResolution: Will Suzy and Terry get back together? We'll never know, as they walk away after Andre's funeral.
* OffIntoTheDistanceEnding: Suzy and Terry walking away after the ceremony in Andre's memory.
* OldSchoolDogfight: Terry, who has taken Andre's plane, defeats the German pilots in an old school dogfight at the end.
* SexyBacklessOutfit: Jean Harlow wore one of these in every movie she made over her too-brief film career and she does here. Suzy even wears sexy backless outfits when she's hanging out at home with her elderly father-in-law.
* SexyShirtSwitch: They didn't even have sex, but Suzy looks so hot in Terry's borrowed pajamas that he can barely speak.
* WorthyOpponent: At Andre's funeral, a German pilot flies overhead and drops a wreath out of his plane.
* YourCheatingHeart: Andre cheats on Suzy constantly while he's on leave--and even when he's home he carouses in cafes rather than come home to his wife.
