Salome

I've been reading the New Testament lately and I came upon the Salome story.  I was in the mood for this movie.  This movie is just ok.  Rita Hayworth is lovely and does a good job as Salome whose mother is accused of adultery and it all results in getting John the Baptist's head on a platter.  Rita Hayworth ends up doing some of her most impressive dancing here. Judith Anderson almost steals the movie from Rita as her cruel mother.
