What do they say about the film Madam Satan?
Just curious...
Where's your crew?
On the 3rd planet.
There IS no 3rd planet!
Don't you think I know that?
The commentary on MS isn't all that useful, but the frenzied clips give a good idea of what the movie is like.
NARRATOR: In 1927, Hayes was put in charge of a new team of industry-appointed censors known as the Studio Relations Committee.
(Clips of MS start.)
NARR: But movies like the Cecil B. DeMille musical Madam Satan showed just how little filmmakers heeded efforts to soft-pedal sin.
JOHN LANDIS: Madam Satan is downright pornographic. (Half-laughs) When Cecil B. DeMille would stage an orgy, it's like, "Oooh, let's go see the orgy." I mean, it's nuts; it is so insane! And they have that bizarre costume party on a zeppelin.
"All you need to start an asylum is an empty room and the right kind of people."
Interesting, thanks!
