“Robert Aldrich, replacing Mr. Belvedere franchise director Henry Koster, does his darndest to wrangle a prestige picture from a messy script overflowing with sun-baked slaves, harem girls and lengthy entreaties to an absent God. The resulting depravity - brought to bejeweled life by legendary production designer Ken Adam - is giddy salt in the open stigmata of Bible pictures.” / Caroline Golum for Mubi / “Hebrews and Sodomites, greetings!” “Sword-and-sandal” Biblical epic Sodom and Gomorrah (also known as The Last Days of Sodom and Gomorrah) was released in Italy on this day (4 January 1962) sixty-one years ago. It’s been years since I watched the 153-minute Franco-Italian-American co-production, but as far as these things go, it’s not half bad. It is - of course - extremely campy and the cast is fun (Stewart Granger, Pier Angeli, Stanley Baker). But it’s mainly memorable for the presence of exquisite, inscrutable French actress Anouk Aimee (pictured) as the depraved villainess Bera, Queen of Sodom. For a film of its time, it’s surprisingly overt about Queen Bera’s lesbianism (she is always surrounded by an all-female entourage and appreciatively ogles belly-dancers and pretty slave girls). When people write about the history of LGBTQ representation in Golden Age Hollywood films, how come Sodom and Gomorrah never rates a mention? Weirdly, Aimee spoke perfectly fine French-accented English, but director Robert Aldrich opted to have her dialogue dubbed by an American actress.
