This early film version of ‘Salomé’, adapted from Oscar Wilde’s play, was produced in Rome in 1910 by Film d'Arte Italiana. It was directed by Ugo Salena and stars Vittoria Lepanto as Salome and Achille Vitti as John the Baptist.
What immediately appealed to me was the film’s visual approach – that is, a series of tableaux based on academic history of the period. It very much reminded me of what I used to see in the great big volumes of Victorian and Edwardian paintings my grandmother would show me when I was perhaps six or sever years old.
What is technically extraordinary is that each frame was hand-tinted to give the impression of colour film. A truly monumental undertaking.
I’m not sure the dance of the seven veils is one of the high points in the history of dance performance but it’s adequate to it’s purpose in this film.
The other famous film adaptation of the period of Oscar Wilde’s play was ‘Salomé of 1923). Directed by Charles Bryant, it and starred Alla Nazimova, who produced and appeared with Rudolph Valentino in ‘Camille’ (1921).
Enjoy!
