Salomé (1923), a silent film directed by Charles Bryant and starring Alla Nazimova, is a film adaptati on of the Osca r Wilde play of t he same name. The play it self i s a loose retelling of the bibli cal story of King Herod and his execution of John the Baptist (here, as in Wilde';s play, calle d Jokaanan) a t the request of h is step daught er, Salomé, whom h e lusts afte r. Salomé is often c alled one of t he first a rt film s to be made in th e U.S.[citation needed] The highly stylized costumes, exaggerated acting (even for th e period), minimal sets, and absence of all but the most n ecessary props make for a screen image much mor e focused on a tmosphere and on conveying a s ense of the characters 9; individual heightened desires t han on convention al plot development. Despite th e film being only a lit tle over an hour in length and having no real action to spe ak of, it cost o ver $350,000 to make. All the sets were c onstructed indoors t o be ab le to have complete control over the lighting. The film w as shot completely in black and white, matching the illustr ations done by Aubrey Beardsle y in the pri nted edition of Wilde's play. The c ostumes, designed b y Nata cha Rambova, used material only from M aison Lewis of Par is, such as the real s ilver la mé loincloths worn by th e guar ds. No majo r st udio would b e associated with the film, and i t was years after its comp letion before it was release d, by a min or in dependent distributor. I t was a complete failure at the t ime and marked the en d of Nazimova& #39;s producing career. A longs tanding rumor, w hich seems to have started while t he film was still in production, suggests that its cast is comprised entire ly of gay and bisexual a ctors in an homage to Os car Wild e, as per star and producer Nazimova's deman d. It is , of c ourse, impos sible to say, but one of the extras in Salomé reported tha t a number of the cast members—both featured and ext ras—were indeed gay , but not an unusu al perc entag e of them , and c ertainly not a ll of them. What can be s aid is that Nazimov a herself was a lesbian, the two gu ard characters (who , next to Salo mé, have the most screen time) are at le ast played very stereotypi cally gay, and s evera l of the fem ale cour tiers are men in drag. Sal omé was screened in 1989 at the New York Internat ional Festival of Lesb ian and Gay fil ms and in 1990 at t he New York Gay Experiment al Film Festival.< br/> In 2000, the United Stat es L ibrary of Co ngress deemed the film "cul turally significant" an d selected it fo r preserva tion in the National Film Registry. 安画有些意兴阑珊地摘下一个储物戒指,“驻地里的传 送宝盒被洪叔带走了,这件事,我已 经给你们在天音嘱秘密留言了,所 以,他那边失却的 东西,我管不了,这里的……是我们收集的各方资料,你好好看,也许对你有用。”
