''White Zombie'' is a 1932 American pre-Code horror film independently produced by Edward Halperin and directed by Victor Halperin.

The film opened in New York to negative reception, with reviewers criticizing the film's over-the-top story and weak acting.

Salomé (1923 Film)
''Salomé'' is a 1923 silent film directed by Charles Bryant and starring Alla Nazimova. It is an adaptation of the 1891 Oscar Wilde play of the same name. The play itself is a loose retelling of the biblical story of King Herod and his execution of John the Baptist (here, as in Wilde's play, called Jokanaan) at the request of Herod's stepdaughter, Salomé, whom he lusts after. ''Salomé'' is often called one of the first art films to be made in the United States. The highly stylized costumes, exaggerated acting, minimal sets, and absence of all but the most necessary props make for a screen image much more focused on atmosphere and on conveying a sense of the characters' individual heightened desires than on conventional plot development. Plot As described in a film magazine, during a banquet at Herod's palace, the Tetrarch (Lewis) pays too much attention to his stepdaughter Salomé (Nazimova), angering his wife Herodias (Dione). Salomé goes out into the courtyard adjoinin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
