: "This article is about the 1953 film. For other uses see Salome (disambiguation)""Salome" (1953) is a Biblical epic film made in Technicolor by Columbia Pictures. It was directed by William Dieterle and produced by Buddy Adler from a screenplay by Harry Kleiner and Jesse Lasky Jr. The music score was by George Duning, the dance music by Daniele Amfitheatrof and the cinematography by Charles Lang. Hayworth's costumes by Jean Louis. Hayworth's dances for this film were choreographed by Valerie Bettis. This film was the last produced by Hayworth's production company, the Beckworth Corporation.

The film starred Rita Hayworth as Salome, as well as Stewart Granger, Charles Laughton and Judith Anderson, with Cedric Hardwicke, Alan Badel and Basil Sydney.

Plot

Although based on the New Testament story, the film does not follow the biblical text. Salome falls in love with a heroic Roman soldier (Granger) who becomes a Christian convert. In a direct reversal of the Biblical text, she dances for Herod to "save" John the Baptist from being beheaded, but is unsuccessful. Horrified, she renounces her mother Herodias, who planned and ordered the execution, and also becomes a Christian convert. The last scene shows Hayworth and Granger listening to Christ (whose face is not shown) delivering the Sermon on the Mount.

Dance of the seven veils

According to her biographers Hayworth's erotic dance routine was "the most demanding of her entire career", necessitating "endless takes and retakes". [Edward Z. Epstein and Joseph Morella (1984) "Rita: The Life of Rita Hayworth". London, Comet: 200]
