Rating:  - Early Talkie Experiment
I think most reviewers of this film are missing the point of this bedroom farce, namely that during the early years of the
talkie, the studios were desperate to hold onto their audiences;
plus they were all experimenting with the new media. Many stars
that one doesn't associate with the musical genre took part in the musical mania of the era, such as George Raft, John Wayne,
etc.
Plus this was the era of experimental color, the two-strip technicolor process, ... Read More
Rating: - Wacko
Somehow this goofy movie seemed to invite a different kind of approach. So what follows is my highly subjective review of Madam Satan.

Years later, she would stop boozing, repent and write I'LL CRY TOMORROW...Kay Johnson plays ... Read More
Rating:  - The Twenties Never Roared Quite Like This--Thank Heavens!
Cecil B. DeMille had a difficult time making the transition to sound, commencing with a series of three flops in a row at MGM--Dynamite in 1929, this film in 1930, and a remake of The Squaw Man in 1931. Afterwards he shrewdly returned to historical spectacle, his real forte, and made the hugely successful Sign of the Cross at Paramount. For Madame Satan, DeMille, trying to keep pace with current trends, went back to the bedroom dramas he had made in the early 1920s, castigating the debauched lifestyle of the ... Read More
