Interesting facts

Susie Steps Out is a 1946 American comedy film directed by Reginald LeBorg, written by Elwood Ullman and Fred Freiberger, and starring David Bruce, Cleatus Caldwell, Nita Hunter, Howard Freeman, Grady Sutton and Margaret Dumont. It was released on December 13, 1946 by United Artists.

Production

Susie Steps Out was the first of director Reginald LeBorg's projects for Comet Pictures, produced by Charles "Buddy" Rogers and Ralph Cohn. Rogers and Cohn conceived of the film as a "B" picture, providing a second feature for double-feature screenings. LeBorg, who had proved his efficiency in delivering low-budget features on schedule and under-budget for Universal Pictures was considered the ideal choice to direct.

The nightclub setting was particularly appealing to LeBorg. A prolific director of "soundies," and an accomplished pianist, he "loved to be associated with any project that involved music."

Susie Steps Out includes songs by Hal Borne and Eddie Cherkose.
