SUZANNE might look like a cheap direct-to-vhs movie from its time. After all it has only two reviews written a lot of time ago and only 84 ratings after a year that I saw it meaning that nobody has ever seen it after me. Well, this doesn't really mean it's a bad movie but still not a masterpiece, and not all movies should be that.
Suzanne MacDonald (Jennifer Dale) is a young woman unsatisfied of her marriage with Andrew (Ken Pogue) and she takes the habit of going out at night in the city when her husband sleeps. One night she is noticed by Georges Laflamme, a gangster just released from prison and they fall in love. Time passes and summer comes and they spend also some days on the beach. One night however, Laflamme forces himself on Suzanne (I would use the right terms but IMDB wouldn't allow it) and she gets impregnated. After abortion she tries to escape from Laflamme and he'll end up in prison.
The acting by all was ok, and the music was great (especially in the dance scenes). But what prevented me to give it a higher score was that I disliked Suzanne's poor decisions since she ended up impregnated by a gangster but at least the ending saved the film and her. But taking it as it is, it's still great for seeing the lifestyles and hear various songs from more than 40 years ago (more referred to those that lived in those years than those who didn't like me that I turned 26 some days ago).
