Salomé (A Historical Phantasy by Oscar Wilde)
Silent film based on Oscar Wilde's play: Salome seduces her stepfather Herod, who promises her the head of the prophet John. With its predominantly queer cast and open treatment of sexuality, the opulent film caused quite a scandal. "1920's art, California style" (Time Out).
