 Madam Satan is a 1930 musical comedy film, directed by Cecil B. DeMille.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })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.Typical of the sex farces that were a hallmark of The Pre-Code Era. Atypical of the rest of DeMille's career, as in years to come he would move away from comedies like this one, in favor of making big-budget spectacles.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

 Be a Whore to Get Your Man: 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.
