The costume and settings are fine, the acting is good but the changes to the biblical characters and their stories are on some parts profound and made of Salome a most spoiled and boring character, and last but not least, they added a lot of romance to the story. The Dance of the Veils too is rather a tame gym exercise and not a climax to the movie. To sum it up, Salome is not that bad but regarding the good production and actors (Stewart Granger, Rita Hayworth, Charles Laughton) sadly the script does not work that well, at least for me.
