Salomé is a 1918 American silent drama film produced by William Fox and starring actress Theda Bara.
As described in a film magazine,[1] Salome uses her wiles in pursuit of King Herod, whose power she desires.
This act brings her own punishment when she is crushed to death beneath the sharp spokes on the shields of the Roman legionnaires.
[6] Edwards also noted the film had a "big, moral lesson" since "Salome, according to a consensus of literary opinion, was the wanton creature criminal history has given us" and who "drove the most diabolical bargain that has ever been known" by bartering "a dance for the head of a man.
[7] Salomé is now considered to be a lost film,[8][9] though two minutes worth of fragments are held by the Filmoteca Española, who uploaded them to Vimeo on October 2, 2021.
