People sure knew how to throw a party in those days! "Madam Satan" may be the only bedroom farce / musical / disaster movie ever made. It's also one of those movies which justify Cecil B. DeMille's reputation as an envelope-pushing grand entertainer. The costumes & props must be seen to be believed - there is even a futuristic element to them. Three out of the four leads give modern performances; only Reginald Denny is a little bland. The film also has its share of saucy lines & situations. The one aspect which hasn't dated well is the singing - maybe because of the early sound recording, much of it comes across as indecipherable screeching. Loyal fans of "Married With Children" will remember an episode with almost the exact same plot! *** out of 4.
