As Wilde lays around on a couch drinking Champagne, he occasionally comments on the performances while the staff works on his one act burlesque play on a special stage. Their actual dialogue is nearly identical to what Wilde had written. However, there are some obvious excesses in the staging.
The production is colorful and gaudy and portrays Salome (played by Imogen Millais-Scott) as a spoiled and insolent brat whose mother, Herodias (played by Glenda Jackson) is constantly bickering with King Herod (played by Stratford Johns).
The story retells Wilde's singular version of the actual biblical story of Salome that involved requesting that Herod present her with John the Baptist's head on a silver platter - in exchange for one of her erotic dances.
The issues get complex as John the Baptist and Lord Alfred Douglas, or Bosie - Wilde's lover is the same character. As Bosie tries to keep in line with the characters onstage, Wilde finds himself in the arms of a young man in the brothel, sometimes ignoring the production.
Three dwarfs dress as Hassidic Jews and mimic the other actors' behavior. Two British young women appear in the background for almost all the scenes, but say nothing. Salome gets replaced during one of her dances by a male, revealing the character to be a transvestite.
Salome's Last Dance is an Drama movie that was released in 1988 and has a run time of 1 hr 27 min. It has received poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 6.5.
