this be an extra of sort on the dvd for alla nazimova production of salome . although this be make in 1933 ( or at least release then ) it totally make me think of the german expressionist movement of the 1920s . ( the cabinet of dr. caligari sprang to mind ) you definitely need to already know the story of sodom and gomorrah and but a another reviewer state and the audience back then would have be well verse in biblical text . a for bible thumpers who object to sex and violence and they should start with ban the bible since and a this story show and it be chock full of both . i be curious to know about any censor issue with this film because their be a lot of eroticism with the young male dancer and some bare buttock and as well a an extremely voluptuous statue of a female torso ( at least i think it be a statue ) . the most surprising image be when the men approach lot door and one man have his arm bent upwards and his hand cup . when he move out of frame and stop and the shadow of his arm be just to the right of the door frame and be very clearly in the shape of an erect penis . i wonder if such a graphic image pass the censor because the story be biblical . either way it be interest and get the point across very clearly . this be worth watch a few time . it a bizarre and but interesting piece of film history .
