Leave It to Susan

About This Movie

Leave It to Susan is an interesting blend of comedy and western that you don't run into every day. Directed by Clarence G. Badger, it’s got this quirky charm that makes it stand out among silent films. The pacing is funny yet deliberate, as we follow this rich woman who loses her way in the West. There's this engineer who, rather amusingly, lets her mistake him for a cowboy outlaw. It's all in good fun until the real outlaws crash the party. The practical effects are typical of the era, but they hold a certain charm. The performances have this over-the-top flair that’s kind of delightful. It’s not your run-of-the-mill western, that's for sure.
