Salomé
1923 · 74 min · US
Directed by Charles Bryant
Nazimova put her own money into this Wilde Salomé and lost it. Charles Bryant directed; Natacha Rambova built a Beardsley court of white wigs, painted floors, and a prophet in a cistern. Nazimova's Salomé wants Jokaanan's mouth; Herod wants her dance; the Baptist wants nothing from the palace. It played as a flop in 1923 and as a queer landmark later. An American art film before Hollywood had a name for that.
