Plot summary
In London in 1914, American showgirl Suzanne Trent tells her friend Maisie that she can win any man she picks into a wedding and then teach herself to love him. Her eye falls on Terry Moore, seen riding in a borrowed Rolls-Royce. He is an engineer, inventor and pilot with a respectable job rather than money, and they marry quickly. The couple come upon a German plot, and a woman shoots Terry and leaves at once; the landlady rushes in calling for the police and blames Suzy, who runs off. Maisie has gone to Paris, and Suzy joins her, taking work at the same cabaret as the war begins. Believing her husband dead, she grieves until she meets the celebrated French flying ace Andre Charville.

Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Suzy (1936)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- To film the aerial sequences, footage was leased from Howard Hughes and one scene was lifted directly from Hell's Angels (1930), the film that had been Harlow's break-through. A rare Sikorsky S-29-A airliner filled in as a German Gotha bomber, alongside S.E.5 and Fokker D.VII fighters.
- Cary Grant was not the original choice for the third lead in Suzy: he replaced Clark Gable in the part, and he also sang a few bars of the film's song himself.
- Jean Harlow's cabaret song, Walter Donaldson and Harold Adamson's "Did I Remember (To Tell You I Adored You)", was dubbed by vocalist Virginia Verrill, who had also dubbed for her in Reckless (1935).
