Satan Met a Lady - 1936
Director: William Dieterle
Trouble-maker detective Shane is banished from town and decides to head for his hometown but more specifically, his friend’s detective agency. He soon finds the business is on it’s last legs and needs serious work so he’s happily given the work as he’s a man with a “good” reputation. Following this, a woman (in this instance a “femme fatale”) comes to the agency to seek revenge on an ex-partner of hers who was unfaithful to her and Shane gets right on the case. To his surprise, things don’t go as planned though and his partner gets mysteriously murdered and he comes home to his apartment to find a “gentlemanly crook” has completely wrecked and robbed his property. The police are suspicious as the “femme fatale” is seeking desperate protection though Shane always manages to stay one step ahead of the game and overcome most obstacles thrown at him!
