    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      This was the last movie produced by Rita Hayworth's production company, the Beckworth Company. Hayworth later called her "Dance of the Seven Veils" in this movie, "the most demanding of my entire career", and said it required "endless takes and retakes."
    • Goofs
      In Palestine, Claudius saves Salome from a gila monster, a venomous lizard found only in southwestern North America.
    • Quotes

      Queen Herodias: The desperate can only survive by taking desperate measures.

    • Crazy credits
      At the end of the picture, rather than seeing the words The End on the screen, we see a title that says This was The Beginning.
    • Connections
      Edited into The Three Stooges Meet Hercules (1962)

    the first temptation is to criticize it. very hard. and it is the normal reaction. because the film has potential and the right cast. but for director seems be more seductive the easy way. the dance of Rita Hayworth, the sketch of the force of Charles Laughton, Judith Anderson in a role as game of stereotypes. the result - not the best. after decades, it is not a real sin and it is a wise option to see it as piece from a long chain of religious/historical films from the "50. but the case of "Salome" remains different. for the simple motif than it is not an ordinary film from the "50. and only way to discover it out of not inspired solution of script or director vision is ... to imagine it.
