Madam Satan (1930)
7/10
A Decent Effort
24 October 2013
a decent movie... some of the acting was a bit wooden. Reginald Denny as Bob was, well not very good. Not sure if he was there more for his voice and looks than his actual acting ability. The movie lagged a bit at the beginning as the story centered on Angela trying to spy on her husband Bob and his trysts with showgirl Trixie. There were some funny pieces and I did like some of Jimmy's one-liners. A bit strange in places. For instance what the heck was that whole dance number at the beginning of the ball scene? The masquerade scene as they introduced each character was very visual and the costumes on the each were amazing. And Kay Johnson looked stunning as Madam Satan. Though I could have done without her fake French accent It was interesting nonetheless , and I think overall a good effort. Though what did happen to Trixie at the end?
