The queer section of this website is rather nebulously defined, but however one interprets the word, Salomé is a queer film. Whether the rumors of its all-gay cast are true or exaggeration, what director Charles Bryant’s and producer and star Alla Nazimova’s Salomé can claim are drag queen courtiers, guards in silver lamé loincloths and fishnet stockings, effetely decadent situations, and characters each in pursuit of his own detrimental yet unstoppably heightening passions.
A faithful adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s play, Salomé has been lauded as not only the best screen version, but the only possible telling. As Photoplay magazine described the film in 1923: “This is bizarre stuff.”
