''Madam Satan'' or ''Madame Satan'' is a 1930 American Pre-Code musical comedy film produced and directed by Cecil B. DeMille, starring Kay Johnson, Reginald Denny and Lillian Roth. ''Madam Satan'' has been called one of the oddest films DeMille made and certainly one of the oddest MGM made during its "golden age."〔Osborne, Robert. "Introduction to the telecast." ''Turner Classic Movies'', 2003.〕 The film originally featured Technicolor sequences that are now lost. Thematically, this marked an attempt by DeMille to return to the boudoir comedies genre that had brought him financial success about 10 years earlier.〔Black 1994, p. 57.〕 ==Plot== Socialite Angela Brooks (Kay Johnson) discovers that her husband Bob (Reginald Denny) is cheating on her with Trixie (Lillian Roth). Assisted by her maid, Angela conceives a plan to win back her husband's affections. An elaborate masquerade ball is to be held in New York City aboard the magnificent moored dirigible named the Zeppelin ''CB-P-55''. Angela will attend, disguised as a mysterious devil woman to "vamp" her husband. Hidden behind her mask and wrapped in an alluring gown, Angela will try to find her errant husband and teach him a lesson. She finds him with his pal, Jimmy Wade (Roland Young). Bob becomes bewitched by the mysterious Madam Satan, nothing like the demure spouse he left at home. During the ball, there are a number of exotic musical numbers. Then a thunderstorm causes the dirigible to break apart and everyone is forced to parachute into the reservoir in Central Park. Angela gives Trixie her parachute, while Jimmy jumps, but survives, ending up in a tree. Finally unmasked, Angela seeks out Bob, who gives up his parachute to her. The two make their way to safety with Angela using the parachute and her husband successfully diving into the reservoir, and saving himself. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Madam Satan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
