I also want to see it. The dismissive reviews I've seen refer not to it, but to
Satan Met a Lady (1936), which was a comedic adaptation of the book. The 1931 film is still available, but I can't find it on line for free or for rent, and I haven't had much luck with ordering DVDs through the mail. A couple of times I did order DVDs and never got the goods. I think there must be some movie buffs working at the Post Office.

No I didn't, although I knew others had written Sam Spade stories. Thanks for that. I'll have to check it out.
