Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaSusie is wearing an early WWII US Army (including the Army Air Forces) dog tag. It has a notch at the end opposite the looped end. It contains five stamped lines of information. The top two lines were the soldier's name, serial number, religion, and blood type. The next three lines were the name and address of the next of kin. This format was discontinued by 1944, leaving just the top two lines. The Navy and Marines used a disk for their dog tags.

Featured review
Quite Breathtaking
This is a creative episode where it focuses entirely on Susie and what she eventually became. It involves a kind of celebrity roast where she is the object of destruction, but she is like a Sherman tank when it comes to personal attacks. People get up an tell stories, or sit at table and exchange stories. We are given a crash course in her accomplishments and failures, her connections to the mob, her loves and her betrayals, her goodness and her badness. Because the writing is so good, what could have been a disaster becomes a gem. The final scenes are so moving. Susie is suddenly completely taken with emotions--which for her is usually beyond the pale. I adored this episode.
