They must have filmed this dance a trillion times in order to show Rita Heyworth taking flawlessly off those super complicated to wear veils. Particularly those that were around her neck. It must have been very difficult to take them off without tangle them in her hair and/or the one with the other.
@@creativecolours2022 Remember, Rita had been dancing, professionally, since she was a child. And not easy stuff, traveling from city to city, on a stage, and flamenco, using castanets so this not unusual for her.
Watching the fabulous film noir " Sunset Boulevard " , Gloria Swanson describes this dance. William Holden, great actors.. I'm going to watch this...it looks glorious..
I treasure this video as a demonstration for how far entertainment has come over thousands of years, from sheer veils of many colors to CGI phantasmagoria.
Skyrim? Whatever. I was rolling my eyes back in my head listening to it. Ridiculous for a film about an event 2,000 years ago. Oh, did I say film? I should preface that with Hollywood, LOL
You know how towards the beginning of the 20th century, ankles were forbidden, and thus considered really hot? Now just imagine 2000ish years ago, seeing as how John the Baptist died somewhere around 28-36 AD.
@@Wendy_O._Koopa hey, its a movie - we are going to expect historical accuraccy??? ha ha. also, ankles may have been no-no in movies, but in the middle east where they invented "belly dance", when you daned before the harem owner, it was let it fly, babe!
You have apparently never seen a real belly dancer. See "Jasirah" as Cleopatra, or Alex Delora for starters, and then let Irina *DALIYA* Shevchenko doing a Show/Drum Solo completely blow your mind.
Duuuude thats your stepdaughter just remember buddy. *Your Queen and Wife's Daughter not one of your concubines from the Harem* and Princess Salome was not wicked. After being told she may ask for whatever she wishes "Up to 1/3, of my Kingdom" it was Herodias, who took great offense at John The Baptist saying their marriage was an abomination because Herodias married her dead husband's brother, Herod Antipas and Herodias told her to ask for "John The Baptist's Head on a Silver Platter" Herod didnt even want to but felt he had to keep his word in front of his Honored Guests. If this indeed happened at all. Is there any other literary source for this interaction besides the King James Bible?
The heck are you talking about. She performed this act for her vile mother, who was angry that John condemned her illicit affair with Herod. Her mother knew that Herod had a thing for her daughter, so she told Salome to dance for him and then ask for John's head.
So wait, she never actually takes off the seventh veil? "Well, how'd you think it was on TH-cam?" I mean, obviously they wouldn't be able to show it in a movie from the fifties, but I thought maybe there'd be an 'artsy' way of doing it. Like you just see the last veil floating to the ground, and a really happy king or something. Keep in mind, my only context for this is that Donald Duck cartoon where he's trying to watch The Dance of the Seven Veils (inexplicably performed by Daisy), but the light goes off and he can't see anything. So then why'd they censor it, if the original isn't even dirty? My entire childhood has been a lie! Again!
@@marionmarino1616 Okay, I'm not sure how you came to that conclusion. Even trolling, I can't follow the logic that would lead you to thinking that what I said or implied.
In Gilda lei è irresistibile. Put the blame on mame è un capolavoro. Come Salomè francamente la vedo meno adatta. Salomè la immagino sensuale, insinuante, morbidamente irresistibile.

@@sulkoma as far as I know (sorry for my bad English, it's not my first language), according to the tradition, Salome was the niece and stepdaughter of Herod II, who had married Salome's mother Herodias. John the Baptist criticized the marriage since Herod II had basically married his brother's widow (this was against the law, or at least against the moral). Salome then agreed to perform the dance of the seven veils before Herod II, since he had said that, if she did so, he would have rewarded her with anything she wanted. At the end of the dance, Salome asked - probably pushed by her mother - for John the Baptist's head on a silver plate. That's the story from traditional accounts. In the movie, Salome actually dances in order to save John the Baptist's life, but her mother prevents her from doing so by asking for his death during the dance.
@@beauty9903 There's also depending on the source a desperate more dark and disgusting exclamation of the "Dance" - due to Harod II obsession with young girls at the time.
@@TheCourtsOfLove My answer was mainly based on the biblical account, I didn't know about Herod II's obsession - would you like to tell me more, please?
@@beauty9903 Yes, There's an adaptation - that is mostly used in Pop-culture (It's been in Movies and Tv Shows) that came from interpretation and was made that it could have been true just like other accounts - however, we never truly know as the accounts as mostly vague but one interpretation that was made and most popular in terms of being in the media is: "Herodias divorced Salome's father Herod II in order to wed his brother Herod Antipas. When John the Baptist denounced the royal couple as incestuous Herodias orchestrated his death. She was well aware that her new husband had a fondness for teenage virgins and thus used her own young daughter to bend Herod Antipas to her will. Salome was delivered to her uncle wrapped in scarfs and what they did in the bedchamber could be interpreted as a dance. This act gave rise to the legend of the Dance of the Seven Veils. Salome quickly found her self vilified by her own people. Even though she was a victim of her mother's lust for power and nothing but a political pawn her reputation was forever ruined." It also talks about Femme-fatales and how Salome was the first although she was manipulated - it's a sad interpretation. Of course in this account one can use their imagination of what happened - the main point was the Dance wasn't actually a dance governed by all the people - the account was stated that Salome went to her uncles Ben-chamber covered in scarfs to please her mother to cause the death of John - of course having incestuous sexual acts with her uncle at a young age - the account is used to show mothers to love their children before anything else, Pedophilia and other aspects of deeper meanings of how manipulation is indecent. It's a interesting interpretation - If you were to watch some films or tv shows with this account in it it's very tragic but that is it - Personally we never know truly what is real - what is there is merely interpreted but it's interesting to see.
Wait.. this lady looks like she’s in her mid 40s. Isn’t Salome supposed to be a teenager? And why does she have blonde hair? She’s not Salome, she’s a desperate Karen housewife from Orange County 😂
Rita was 35 when this film was made. And she had that hair because Hollywood was incredible racist then. In fact, Rita's father was Spanish and she had dark brown hair, but Hollywood made her a ginger.
OMG, her outfit is beautiful with all of the different colors of the veils!!! Simply stunning!!!

This music make more amazing the dance of Rita❤️🩹🌷
I still think this is the hottest "Dance of the seven veils" ever filmed.
Did they change the music? The music doesn't match her movements? And is she hot enough you would give her the head of a man if she asked you to?
Nah, Brigid Bazlen was hotter.
was not expecting some skyrim soundtrack there
Which one specifically? Where can I find it?
Skyrim? Whatever. I was rolling my eyes back in my head listening to it. Ridiculous for a film about an event 2,000 years ago. Oh, did I say film? I should preface that with Hollywood, LOL
This is NOT the music that was in this film, at least for this scene. Don’t they have the rights to it?
Anyone else here because of the new Silvia Moreno-Garcia book, The Seventh Veil of Salome?
Yes. I'm reading it now.
this king must have never seen dancing before if he thought this was particularly erotic and entrancing.
Hahaha😂
Charles Laughton who was gay.

Why oh why would Rita Hayworth have dyed her beautiful red hair blonde when Salome has almost always been depicted as a redhead???
Because blondes have more fun?
@@UchihaChikiru 🤣🤣🤣
The real Salome would've had tanner/olive skin with very dark hair if we're being real.
@@mevox Aye, King of Kings does a great job at portraying that.
Her hair was naturally dark brown
From minute 4.15 on, She really gives her best
04:15
I don't believe that this is the actual music in the film version for this dance number. The dancing is spectacular, nonetheless.
you are right, it's not, music changes around 1:15 to a soundtrack from the game "oblivion" or "skyrim"
You have apparently never seen a real belly dancer. See "Jasirah" as Cleopatra, or Alex Delora for starters, and then let Irina *DALIYA* Shevchenko doing a Show/Drum Solo completely blow your mind.
What’s the first song, though?
One with common sense can tell from its sound quality that it's not music from the 1950s.
The opening and closing music was from the 1940 film "
Magnificat 👏👏👏

Don’t forget she’s also his niece too
@@mediocremaiden8883 I don’t think the Bible is actually considered history.
so that's basically ancient striptease
Exactly
Is there anything new under the sun?
What happened to the music ?
She was in love with John Baptiste. Was an unrequited love for that she asked his head
The heck are you talking about. She performed this act for her vile mother, who was angry that John condemned her illicit affair with Herod. Her mother knew that Herod had a thing for her daughter, so she told Salome to dance for him and then ask for John's head.

Finally a skin based off of a role played by Rita

Weird to have different music than the movie. Doesn’t match the dance
The best part of the scene is that they killed John the baptist. He was a pain in the ass the whole movie.
Brigid Bazlen is the best salome

no

The head of John the Baptist.

The Herods are not Jews but Idumæans who lived like Greeks and Romans.
Know this is old but completely miscast as salome
Rita Hayworth was certainly beautiful; but, much too old for this role. Probably around the same age as the woman who played Herodias, her mother.
I was thinking the same thing, too old for this role.
