Why can’t filmmakers show real history?
After the death of Julius Caesar, Rome ruled the World under Tiberius Caesar (Cedric Hardwicke) who needs peace with the East, with the conquered province of Galilee, where King Herod and Queen Herodias held the throne…

In this time a Prophet, who many thought was the Messiah, appears on the scene… His name is John the Baptist…

Looking always up (I wonder why?) Alan Badel portrays, in his film debut, the Jewish Prophet who preaches the imminence of God’s final Judgment and baptizes who repented in self-preparation for it… The Baptist condemns the marriage of King Herod as a transgression of the Law of Moses..

Stewart Granger seems faint and weak in his conversion to Christianity… There was something missing in his acting… Close to the Baptist, he tries to persuade Princess Salome, with whom he is in love, to change her beliefs and behavior…

Rita Hayworth is an eye-filling spectacle by herself… Showing a weird shape and elegant legs, the legendary actress— in flood of color, charm and beauty, retains sensuality in her unique dance of the seven veils at a banquet… She only takes six: black, blue, purple, red, orange and yellow… In her rhythmic movements before her stepfather, Herod Antipas, she promised herself the freedom of the Baptist…

Judith Anderson is not bad as the adulterous Herodias, the treacherous Queen who plans to doublecross her husband and daughter evolving a plot of intrigue, and tricks Salome into participation…

Charles Laughton looks below average in this tedious, unreal, biblical foolish drama… He is King Herod, married to Herodias in illegal way, violating the Law of Moses and breaking the 7th Commandment… He imprisons the Baptist for condemning his union, but is afraid to execute him…

With a deficient script, this twisted biblical tale is entirely unconvincing…

“Salome” was filmed years before, in 1918, with Theda Bara who constructed an entire career portraying the ‘vamp.’
