Strange Suzy (French: L'étrange Suzy) is a 1941 French comedy film directed by Pierre-Jean Ducis and starring Suzy Prim, Claude Dauphin and Marguerite Moreno.^[1]

Made in the southern zone of Vichy France, the film was a commercial success. Along with another hit The Well Digger's Daughter, it was banned by the Nazi authorities in the Occupied Zone in retaliation for a Vichy ban on the German film Bel Ami.^[2]
