''Madam Satan'' is a 1930 musical comedy film, directed by Creator/CecilBDeMille.
The absurdly rich Angela and Bob Brooks (their house has a pipe organ!) are experiencing marital difficulties. Angela believes that being married means one has to settle into a life of responsible domesticity, while Bob, for his part, misses the madcap Angela of old and their former passion. Bob, as a result, has taken a mistress.
After finding out that her husband is cheating on her, Angela does ''not'' kick him in the balls and then head to Reno for a divorce. No, Angela comes up with an elaborate plan to seduce her husband and reignite the sparks in their marriage. A plan that involves a blimp, an elaborate masked ball on said blimp, and a masked Angela disguised as the scantily clad "Madam Satan". Really.

!!Tropes:
* BeAWhoreToGetYourMan: Martha the maid expressly tells Angela this, saying "You must make yourself so attractive to him that he won't want to leave you." Then she sings a song about it. Angela eventually follows up on this advice, appearing half-naked at the ball as Madam Satan and enchanting her husband.
* BlatantLies: Bob and Jimmy's pathetic lies when they claim that the woman identified in the newspaper as "Mrs. Brooks" is actually Jimmy's wife.
* DoubleEntendre: When a probing Angela asks Trixie's maiden name, Jimmy says "She hasn't been a maiden for a long time."
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: We learn all we need to know about Bob and his friend Jimmy when they show up at Bob's front door in the early morning, in tuxedos, drunk.
* TheMistress: Bob's girlfriend Trixie makes the strategic error of using a card with her address on it to leave a note for Bob.
* SexlessMarriage: It would appear that Bob and Angela are no longer bonking.
--> '''Bob''': I crave warm affection, and all I get is frozen justice.
* SleepingSingle: Not an enforced trope in 1930, so here notable as it indicates the passionless state of the Brooks marriage.
* SplashOfColor: The blimp sequence was originally filmed in two-strip Technicolor, but the footage has been lost and the existing print is all black-and-white.
* TitleDrop: "Madam Satan" is Angela's alter ego.
* WorstNewsJudgmentEver: Angela finds out that Bob is cheating on her after reading a newspaper story about how "Mr. and Mrs. Brooks" were booked in night court for disorderly conduct.
* YourCheatingHeart: Bob is having an affair with some girl named Trixie.
