miss decarlo star debut have everything the writer could come up with from the franco prussian war to the u civil war and the great american west and san francisco in it heyday and ballet and opera and vaudeville and stage coach bandit and and a chinese junk . just when you think the plot couldn not get any screwy and it do . it magnificent and take tongue in cheek . decarlo character ( here call anna marie not salome and that the role she dance ) be loosely base on the career of the notorious lola montez and who be the mistress of the king of prussia and cause a revolution when he give her the crown jewel . she do escape to the american west . there be a town in arizona call salome and where she dance and base on the historical fact that lola montez do dance the role of salome there . stagecoach cleve and the russian nobleman who fall under her charm be not historically accurate and nor i assume be the chinese wise man with the scottish accent but it be one of my favorite all time camp classic and decarlo be breathtakingly beautiful throughout .
