Thank you VERY much for the concise reply! You made it VERY clear! Thank you SO much! MANY times, I'd ask a question, & I was treated as if I asked a stupid question, but you treated me like a person who REALLY wanted an answer that I could understand! Thanks again!

Biblically,it was Salome's mother that wanted John the Baptist head. She hated him because of a difference in religious opinions. When the girl was done dancing and Herod offered her whatever she wanted. She asked her mom what reward she should ask for and her mom told her to ask for John the Baptist's head on a silver platter. Herod really didn't want to do it, but he had to keep his word. I think she screamed because it was more what her mom wanted than herself.

Was it Salome that wanted the head, or the lady next to King Herod? Who is who? Why did Salome scream at seeing the head? Was it ONLY because it was a severed head, or was it because she knew it was John the Baptist?

Thank you for watching and commenting. I don't care what kind of dance this is - I love it, and Rita Hayworth is absolutely gorgeous in every respect.

The costuming for this film is beautiful & Rita Hayworth was excellent in this performance...But this is not true bellydance. It is modern dance with an oriental influence.

Herod didn't want to kill John, but Herodias told him if he didn't keep his word, that he would be embarrassed before his guests, so he had John executed. John's disciples came for his body & buried him. The movie may be entertaining, but it's far from the truth. I don't understand why people find it necessary to alter the story for film. The truth is more interesting than fiction!

In the Bible king Herod married his brother's wife (bigamy & incest!) & John the Baptist frequently told them that they were living in sin. Herodias (the queen) hated the Baptist & after he was imprisoned by her husband, she & Salome plotted together to have John beheaded. Herodias was aware that Herod had the hots for Salome. So, on his birthday, Salome danced before Herod & his court. He promised her to grant anything to her up to 1/2 his kingdom. That is when she asked for John's head. Cont' |
