This 1923 silent "Salome" is probably the best filmed version of the scandalous Oscar Wilde one-act play. It's basically a photographed avant-garde theatre production performed on a single set based on Aubrey Beardsley's illustrations for the published play. You can see those illustrations at: http://www.wormfood.com/savoy/salome/.
The copy of "Salome" that's been available on the Internet has English intertitles partially obscured by oversized German subtitles. That's particularly annoying for the English-speaking audience, because the filmmakers tried to include as much of Wilde's original text as possible. That made for a lot of intertitles. I cleaned them up, eliminating the German subtitles, so now there's just the original English intertitles.
Here, then, is "Salome," proving Wilde's point that "The mystery of love is greater than the mystery of death."
