MOVIE OR TV PRODUCTIONS

Salome (1923)

In this silent version of the Salomé story Wilde gets a writer's credit. The title role is played by the Russian actress Nazimova.

Salomé's Last Dance (1988)

This is a bit of an odd one. Yes, it features a performance of Salomé…but the performance is in a brothel…and Oscar Wilde and Lord Alfred Douglas are in the audience. Its tagline? "NOTORIOUS, SCANDALOUS, WILDE!"
