Description |
| Sahara |
|
(1984) ANOTHER Brooke Shields disaster, redeemed, somewhat, by a splendid dancer. This Brooke Shields disaster features a terrific dancer, and nothing else. |
| Salome |
|
 (1995) How do you recreate the effect this salacious opera had on its audience when it debuted more than 90 years ago on today's audiences jaded by MTV, X- and R-rated movies? By playing it to the hilt, which is exactly what Malfitano and Terfel do. THIS is what Salome should be like. Not a concert of beautiful music but a raw experience. The singing and the music under von Dohnanyi are spectacular enough, but it's the drama that comes through. The stuff Malfitano does with Jokanaan's severed head at the end could be worth an X rating...even though she never gets completely naked, as some sopranos do. A body stocking is far enough.... |

 The Royal Opera, sung in German with English Subtitles |

Rita Hayworth |
 (1953) Rita Hayworth, Stewart Granger The movie's ridiculous, but Rita Hayworth was a professional dancer, and does a splendid "Dance Of the 7 Veils". The costume was to die for! I may find the tape just to study it more closely. Although the veil work was more strippy than I like, the veils and draping themselves were wonderful and doable. "...the 1950's movie starring Rita Hayworth. Yes, she does the dance of the seven veils. It is choreographed more like a modern dance piece, with some figure 8's and undulations thrown in. I believe it was choreographed by a well-known modern dance choreographer--Valerie Bettis comes to mind." --Stefania |
| Salome |
|
 From the opening's mysterious nocturnal chords to Salome's shattering musical orgasm, this interpretation is a potent listening and viewing experience. Under the direction of Giuseppe Sinopoli, the Orchester der Deutsche Oper Berlin play with red rapture, sighing, moaning, screaming with Salome's ecstasy over the holy man Jochanaan (a.k.a. John the Baptist). Catherine Malfitano ranks with Hildegard Behrens and Teresa Stratas as the best Salome. She does not sing it with the large voice of a Wagnerian soprano, which is not right for the role anyway. |

Jo Champa |
(1986) Italy-France co-production. Director Claude d'Anna. Salome' is the very tall raven-haired Jo Champa. That's a good film, theatrical. Herod is Italian actor Thomas Milian. - Tanja, Italy |
| Salome |
Donyale Luna |
(Italy 1972) by Carmelo Bene: Salome' is Donyale Luna (Peggy Anne Donyale Aragonea Pegeon Freeman, born in Detroit, died in Roma 1979), also present in Fellini's Satyricon. She was very loved in Italy in the 70s. - Tanja, Italy

| Salome, Where She Danced |
Yvonne DeCarlo |
  (1945) Yvonne DeCarlo wasn't known as the "Queen Of The 'B's'" for nothing. She did several B-movies set in the mid-east and this one is the "best", though her dancing is terrible. |
| Salome's Last Dance |

 |
| Samson and Delilah |
|
 (1949) Victor Mature and Hedy Lamarr Director: Cecil B. DeMille
Behaving as if it hadn't already been immortalized in Judges, chapters 13-16, Cecil B. DeMille immortalized history's most famous haircut all over again in this 1949  classic of the Epic Saga genre. Victor Mature is a trifle bovine as Samson--which perhaps isn't so inappropriate--but Hedy Lamarr's Delilah is a magnet on fire. Impossibly perfect and sexy, she sashays through the movie in a whole wardrobe of revealing halter tops, bending the men like blades of grass.
Another intersting thing about Samson and Delilah is that one of Delilah's costumes is a truly AWESOME assuit. -- Sherezzah

(picture in a magazine article about) ...Jerry Garcia's all time favorite movie "The Saragossa Manuscript", returns ...snip...based on Jan Potocki's novel about a Belgian military officer's fantastic journey...in 1965,(snip) dreamy visuals, ...snip...Fully restored by Martin Scorsese...snip... The still is of 5 women in psuedo-oriental dance costume. 4 of them in pasties (yipes), and the foremost woman in a similar get-up with coin bra and filmy "baby-doll" nightie type of arrangement over it. Coin headress, too. -- Zemyna |
