Times (UK) Staff Times (UK) Let It be said at once that, on the whole, the film gives a very dignified rendering of extremely difficult subject. Jul 10, 2020 Full Review Joshua Lowe Variety All things considered, the William Fox-Theda Bara screen production of Salome is a pretentious, artistic, interesting presentation of the sensational order and gives every indication of enjoying largo financial success. Dec 14, 2019 Full Review NYT Staff New York Times A photoplay which for richness and extent of pageantry, sumptuousness of setting, and color or detail has few equals among motion-picture productions. Dec 14, 2019 Full Review Julian Johnson Photoplay This edition of the adventures of Herodiade's daughter is not a sin against morals; it is only a vast, colossal assault on common sense. Sep 3, 2020 Full Review Wid Gunning The Film Daily Unfortunately, for the first hour and a half, the production is chiefly made up of plotting scenes in which undressed Theda tries to doublecross all the folks associated with King Herod. Jul 22, 2020 Full Review Peter Milne Motion Picture News Mr. Edwards' ability to handle the spectacular is unusual in its scope. The street fighting is staged excellently. And probably there has been no more effective scene ever staged than that between Herod and John the Baptist. Jul 22, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews
