5.0 out of 5 stars Defending "Salome"
Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2000

Every review of this movie I've ever read has been negative. Yet I have never tired of watching it again and again- the truest test of greatness. The time for me to emerge from the celluloid "guilty pleasures" closet is here. Critical scorn be damned- I adore this movie! I concede that in the beginning of the film the glorious Rita Hayworth's performance is wooden- but how she comes alive at the finale justifies any wait. Once she emerges from behind a pillar in Herod's court concealed in a shimmering sheath of blue- and then slowly and sinuously lowers it to reveal to Herod the answer to his most hedonistic dream- the film becomes a cinematic feast "like no other." I suppose Laughton and Anderson ham it up- but watching these two incredibly talented actors pull out all the stops- ham was never more delicious! They are unforgettable. Alan Badel is hard to take, but even he has his moments- as when he offers the thoroughly decadent Herod a chance for personal redemption, or when he reveals the identity of the disguised-in-a-crowd Salome as the "daughter of Herodias" but commends her misguided fears for her mother's safety. One reviewer calls this movie "over-costumed." I say "Hail Jean Louis!" The story of Salome was meant to flaunt gorgeous clothes and I have never seen such a display of eye-popping fabrics and colors- they alone make it worth watching. I treasure motion pictures as a haven from harsh reality- and this movie's "matchless beauty" more than fits the bill.

saw this movie when I was a kid and didnt understand much of the world at the time but re watching this twenty years later really impacted me! Important note read your Holy bible! Because what the girl did wasnt like in the holy scriptures. GOD is holy and truth and almighty! And I truly believe in Yahshua ha mashiach And this is just "columbia pictures" back in 1950's where it isn't this bad like today's modern time when it comes to concealing truth or not as acceptable.

The Bible story has been changed drastically, as Salome now has a Roman suitor, and Herod and Herodias are at odds with each other but, hey, this is Hollywood stuff. Charles Laugton makes a geat Herod Antipas, and Rita Hayworth is a usual worth a second, a third, and a fourth look.

You only need to watch it once if you’ve seen them in some other things to wonder whose doing it to whom in what some would describe as “not too believable” but, who am I to say.

This is good for a laugh, not historically accurate at all, very silly and very unintentionally funny. Love Rita Hayworth and Stewart Granger tho 😍

The movie showed how people use to live and how a young woman changed her life after getting the recognition of the Religious character (JESUS ) showed the townspeople what and how to live life befitting the LORD/HEAVENLY FATHER.

This is a Bible story with a difference. It tells the story of the relationship between Claudius, a Roman Centurion and his friend John the baptist and the events bringing Claudius into contact with Salome. It is a very heart warming film. A very good purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Un bien joli péplumchristique
Reviewed in France on September 25, 2012

Découvert voilà bien trente ans à la télévision, et n' ayant jamais vu ce péplum au cinéma, j'avais gardé de ce film un beau souvenir. Avec le recul, je suis heureux d'avouer aujourd'hui que ce long métrage de William Dieterle - que Claude Aziza, le grand spécialiste du genre classe avec sympathie dans les films "saint sulpiciens" - est extrêmement touchant grâce à un scénario improbable mais auquel tous les amateurs de belles histoires se laisseront prendre.
Pour ceux qui aimeraient le découvrir, je dirai que Salomé ne danse pas pour en finalité condamner Jean le Baptiste, mais le sauver. Nous connaissons tous la fin de l'histoire, mais le talent du metteur en scène et l'intrigue bien menée nous emportent dans un sublime technicolor <
