This unusual hybrid of melodrama, fantasy, and disaster film is interesting on a number of fronts.I liked the glamorous Kay Johnson as Angela, a socialite who catches her husband cheating, and, though he doesn't deserve her, decides to try to reel him back in on the advice of her maid (Elsa Peterson): "You must make yourself so attractive he won't want to leave you.

A decent movie... some of the acting was a bit wooden.

Jimmy Wade: "It's a waste of time taking a married man to hell.

Angela to Bob: "You told me I was below zero, so I raised my temperature.

You Get 3 Movies in One Here. A Musical Comedy, A Out Of This World Musical, and a Disaster Movie.

The first part is a bedroom farce, then it becomes a weird musical, before becoming a disaster movie. Mashed together it doesn't work as a whole at all and it's not only because of the early sound movie problems that all early 30's movies have.

Well it's certainly a curiosity. The first forty-five minutes to an hour is pretty boring.

We just finished watching 'Madam Satan'. I had just read about it in one of the movie groups I belong to and wanted to view it because one poster referred to it as "a strange strange movie" and I often like films that are different.

The second of three films that Cecil B. DeMille did for MGM and in which he made his sound debut was Madam Satan and a lot of reviewers have said this is a strange movie.
