Many know the name of the dancer of the seven veils as SAH-lo-may. However, in this 1953 epic loosely based on the Biblical story, it is pronounced sa-LOW-mee and sometimes Salami. This vehicle for Rita Hayworth takes many liberties with the story but is entertaining never the less. The cast has quality, with Ms Hayworth and Mr Granger supported by Charles Loughton as Herod and Dame Judith Anderson as his long suffering wife Herodias. As another reviewer has said, it does make for a nice way to spend a Sunday afternoon watching on TV, especially if you are forced to remain indoors during the COVID-19 pandemic on Easter Sunday, 2020. It was paired with Barrabas which made for an interesting viewing pair. If nothing else, it will provide the viewer with some laughs as it did me.
