4.0 out of 5 stars"You know, I've forgotten what seventeen-year-old emotional kids are like. I've been going out with middle-aged women; 20, 21"
By Byron Kolln HALL OF FAME on January 20, 2011
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
SUSAN SLEPT HERE finally makes it's DVD debut as part of the Warner Archive program. In one of her rare loan-outs to RKO, Debbie Reynolds is Susan Landis, a seventeen-year-old petty criminal who is taken in by Hollywood screenwriter Mark Christopher (Dick Powell in his final movie role before heading off to TV-land) on Christmas Eve. What starts out as simply a kind gesture to keep Susan out of juvenile detention over the holidays soon dissolves into a marriage-of-convenience, when Mark decides to help Susan avoid her jail sentence completely. After their Vegas nuptials, Mark keeps his distance by moving to a Big Bear cabin in order to work on his latest script, but no-one counts on Susan, and her plan to remain Mrs Christopher...

Debbie is her adorable best, and Dick Powell treads carefully in a difficult role. The supporting cast is sublime, with delicious Anne Francis as Mark's "permanent girlfriend", film diva Isabella Alexander. Glenda Farrell is Maude Snodgrass, Mark's wisecracking, gin-swilling secretary who later becomes Susan's greatest ally; and Alvy Moore is hilarious playing Mark's former naval superior and now-personal assistant, Virgil.

The film has a really fun dream sequence that is pure Frank Tashlin, a witty screenplay and great performances from Reynolds and Powell, not to mention the Academy Award-nominated song "Hold My Hand". And what other movie is narrated by an Oscar statuette?! The print on this DVD-R from the Warner Archive is basic but watchable, with nicely saturated colour. There is a noticeable amount of debris and dirt in the print, but it's on par with the copy that's regularly aired on TCM. There are no extras apart from the trailer, and as with the other discs from the Warner Archive, it might not be playable on PC drives or DVD recorder devices. Recommended for Debbie fans; they've wanted this movie on DVD for a long time.

5.0 out of 5 starsSusan Slept Here
By ajb on March 8, 2011
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
This movie was a fun -- and clean! -- departure from your typical romantic comedy of today. Debbie Reynolds plays an underage girl that gets picked up for vagrancy. The cops that pick her up take her to Dick Powell's apartment, since he is a struggling writer who needs a great line for a story. The deal is that he gets to write a story using her as his primary source of inspiration, and she gets to spend Christmas OUT of jail. Inevitably, she falls for him but alas! he's an older man with an older girlfriend (no, he's not the marrying kind) who is way more sophisticated than the little girl in his room. Of course, Debbie manages to answer the phone to his older girl several times: "No, he's not in here, he's in the kitchen...oh, I'm in the bedroom. No, I can't go get him--I'm not dressed!" There are a good many lines that are just hilarious--and remind us of a time when humorous lines didn't have to contain four-letter-words to raise a chuckle.

I bought this movie for my sister's birthday--she had seen (and showed me!) the trailer, and we both decided that we needed to see it. I wouldn't hold your breath for your husband to be enthusiastic about sitting through it, but if you and your girlfriends are looking for a reason to stay up and drink hot chocolate when everyone knows you should be in bed...!!

4.0 out of 5 starsSweet Golden Comedy
By Samantha Glasser VINE VOICE on February 7, 2006
Format: VHS Tape
Susan Slept Here is a great comedy from the golden age of Hollywood. It involves an aged Oscar-winning writer (Dick Powell) whose main goal in life is to duplicate his past success. In passing, he mentions to some cop friends that he'd like to talk to some of the young delinquints they come into contact with to try to get story ideas. On Christmas Eve, the cops bring him just that, a seventeen year old girl (Debbie Reynolds). The writer is more put off by her presence, especially when she continually meddles with his relationship with a glamourous woman. In the end though, he agrees to marry the girl to keep her out of jail. He foresees the marriage ending in an annulment, but she has other ideas.

It is nice to see Dick Powell in a film so late in his career, but he has changed a lot from the baby-faced crooner of the early 30s. His face shows his age which helps some of the comedy, including the line where he admits he is 36 years old. Even without that singing voice and lovable smile, he's great.

Debbie Reynolds is surprisingly good as well. She shows a knack for comedy and a charm that few young actresses possess.

4.0 out of 5 stars50's Cliches, But In A Very Nice Package
By Great Movie Addict on June 21, 2006
Format: VHS Tape
No, I'd never maintain that this sometimes-forgotten 1954 classic has a plot you could easily swallow, but...who cares? The pairing of Powell and Reynolds was a stroke of genius for RKO and director Frank Tashlin (who directed many of those awful Jerry Lewis movies). Things are a bit dated here and there, and the Broadway sitcom cliches of its era often run rampant. But it's still great fun, thanks to a highly accomplished cast and many wryly funny moments. The comedic pacing and dry wit, not to mention plenty of satire about Hollywood itself, will remind you of many well-paced 30's films. But the best parts of this movie are Debbie (before she got trapped and wasted in those Tammy roles), Dick Powell, who does a slendid job in his last starring role, and a game supporting cast that seems incapable of making mistakes with this predictable but enjoyable script. If you aren't accustomed to some of the conventions of 50's movies, you'll undoubtedly howl when Powell confesses to a shocked young Debbie that he's really "middle-aged" (at age 35, no less, though Powell was actually older). A few dated lines notwithstanding, this has always been one of the most enjoyable and polished roles I ever saw from Reynolds or Powell. Don't miss the scene where Powell, a has-been film writer, is watching a late-night movie on tv and glumly lip-synching the torrid lines of a sappy dialogue his character once wrote for a really bad film. Even for the Fifties, there's a certain chic about the way this little romp was put together and performed -- a blessed relief from the often nauseating, in-your-face dumbness of many modern films.
