Movie review - "Satan Tempts with Love" (1960) **

Belinda Lee mostly worked in Italy during her European years but made the odd movie in France and Germany - this is one of the latter, a melodrama where she's the singer girlfriend of an escapee who uses her to con a rich man.

Lee wears a similar high mascara that she did in her other German movie - was that a German style? She's fine. The film is a bit silly. It starts promisingly with a baddy on the run and has some good moments, like Lee singing in a nightclub. 

There's interesting touches like a man in yellowface playing a Chinese, and the protagonist wanting to go to Australia. The ending didn't feel real. A lot of it didn't.
