This version of "Salome" features the great and weird Nazimova as Salome. It was written and produced by her. This movie is a hybrid between ballet, stage drama, cinema, grand opera and a very bad afternoon soaper. Great for tableaus of the weirdest sort, and in a way, it is almost worth seeing for them. The sets are very weird, imaginative and always interesting. But the acting is posing, and so overdone that it is comical. This effort took the big nose dive at the box office, which figures. Seems like a West Berlin bit of German Impressionism, but believe it or not, this is American.
