- Comment: I self-reverted my bold WP:BLAR (because I didn't realize how confusing it'd make things but) mainly because I thought the film poster image should stay alive until someone else has checked this draft. I haven't asked the draft author to just edit the main article because I'm not sure if the sources cited here count as significant coverage or otherwise show notability. If this really messes with the review, please feel free to ping me and ask me to restore the redirect. Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 04:08, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: This draft is for a title that was previously an article, but was then cut down to a redirect. If this draft is accepted, the history should be preserved. Do not tag the redirect for G6. Reviewers should check the history and verify whether there was a consensus to cut the article down to a redirect, or whether the action was taken boldly without discussion. If there was a consensus for the cutdown, do not accept this draft without verifying that the draft improves the article or that consensus has changed. If in doubt, please discuss.See previous comment that history merge may be required from preserved history in redirect. Robert McClenon (talk) 03:51, 24 January 2024 (UTC)

The Second Coming of Suzanne (also known as Suzanne) is a 1974 American drama film directed by Michael Barry. It stars Jared Martin as an obsessed San Francisco indie film maker who hires a beautiful woman called Suzanne (played by Sondra Locke) to star as a female Christ in his next film. Paul Sand co-stars as Suzanne's artist boyfriend. Richard Dreyfuss appears as a member of the crew who becomes concerned at the increasingly weird antics of the rest of the ensemble, which culminate in the crucifixion of Suzanne on a local hill. The film was inspired by the lyrics of Leonard Cohen's song "Suzanne", as heard on the soundtrack. The director's father Gene Barry is also featured, as a TV presenter, in a somewhat opaque sub-plot. The film music was recorded by Touch.
Intended for a fall 1973 release date,[2] The Second Coming of Suzanne premiered at the Atlanta Film Festival, and also screened at the Stratford International Film Festival in Toronto, and at the San Francisco International Film Festival.[1][3][4][5]
