Let It be said at once that, on the whole, the film gives a very dignified rendering of extremely difficult subject. Go to Full Review Joshua Lowe Variety 12/14/2019
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. Go to Full Review NYT Staff New York Times 12/14/2019
A photoplay which for richness and extent of pageantry, sumptuousness of setting, and color or detail has few equals among motion-picture productions. Go to Full Review Julian Johnson Photoplay 09/03/2020
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. Go to Full Review Wid Gunning The Film Daily 07/22/2020
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. Go to Full Review Peter Milne Motion Picture News 07/22/2020
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. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
