"This is surely one of the worst films ever made and released by a major Hollywood studio. The plot is simply stupid. The dialog is written in clichés; you can complete a great many sentences in the script because of this. The acting is ridiculously bad, especially that of Rod Cameron. The "choreography" is silly and wholly unerotic. One can only pity the reviewer who saw 23-year-old Yvonne's dance as sexual; it's merely very bad choreography. The ballet scene in the film's beginning is especially ludicrous. If you are into bad movies and enjoy laughing at some of Hollywood's turkeys, this is for you. I bought the colorized version on VHS, making the movie even worse. Yvonne's heavy makeup, when colored, has her looking like a clown all the time. And she's the best part of this film. What a way to launch a career."

Above is the "review", such as it is, by aberlour36. If this commenter, and the word IS commenter...NOT commentator, wishes his or her comments to be taken seriously then they should have taken the simple, elementary trouble to discover that "Salome Where She Danced" was FILMED IN COLOR....Technicolor, to be exact. It was NOT computer colorized. I find it virtually impossible to have any respect or serious consideration for the "critical" and "artistic" opinions of someone who literally cannot tell the difference between a 40's Universal picture in Technicolor....some of the most intensely bright and gorgeous true Technicolor of all....and the visual horror that is computer colorization. If this glaring, visual fact is not readily apparent then this commenter's taste in general must be called into SERIOUS question. That I disagree with the review otherwise, goes without saying.
