About This Movie

Salome is a 1953 drama and romance film directed by William Dieterle. Its leading cast includes Rita Hayworth, Charles Laughton and Stewart Granger. It runs for 1 hour 43 minutes.

Synopsis

In the reign of emperor Tiberius, Gallilean prophet John the Baptist preaches against King Herod and Queen Herodias. The latter wants John dead, but Herod fears to harm him due to a prophecy. Enter beautiful Princess Salome, Herod's long-absent stepdaughter. Herodias sees the king's dawning lust for Salome as her means of bending him to her will. But Salome and her lover Claudius are–contrary to Scripture–nearing conversion to the new religion.
