Directed by William Dieterle, Salome (1953) is a stylish and vibrant Biblical epic. The plot focuses on the story of Princess Salome, who is banished from Rome and forced to return to her homeland of Galilee, seemingly enticing every man she encounters... and the tragedy that befalls John the Baptist after he preaches against King Herod and his Queen. Stagy sets mix with good performances. Rita Hayworth, one of the most beautiful actresses ever, is absolutely radiant in the title role as Salome. Her famous Dance of the Seven Veils is hypnotic and memorable. The rest of the cast is great as well, including Charles Laughton.
