Satan Met a Lady
HE MADE LOVE TO HER TO MAKE HER CONFESS MURDER! Then She Made A Confession That Made Even The Devil's Ears Burn!
A breezy, flirtatious 1930s comedy-mystery built on romantic sparring and comedic deception rather than genuine menace or depth.
In the second screen version of The Maltese Falcon, a detective is caught between a lying seductress and a lady jewel thief.
