There Goes Susie (known in the United States as Scandals of Paris) is a British comedy film from 1934, co-directed by Victor Hanbury and John Stafford. The movie features performances by Gene Gerrard, Wendy Barrie, and Zelma O'Neal. The screenplay, crafted by Charlie Roellinghoff and Hans Jacoby, was produced under the banner of British International Pictures at the Elstree Studios. This production serves as a remake of the 1933 German film Marion, That's Not Nice, alongside an Italian adaptation titled Model Wanted released in the same year.

Plot

A prominent soap company's commissioned artist paints a model posed provocatively, only to realize she is the daughter of his employer.

Cast

Reception

The publication Picturegoer commended the film’s musical segments for their melody and acknowledged the skilled ensemble despite the unconvincing depiction of Parisian locales.

Meanwhile, Picture Show emphasized Gene Gerrard’s sharp comedic talent and Wendy Barrie’s solid supporting role, attributing much of the film's appeal to the entire cast’s performance.

In his work British Sound Films: The Studio Years 1928–1959, David Quinlan described the movie as "average," noting that its narrative added little value to this musical comedy.
