Review of Salome's Last Dance (1988) by Wayne D — 27 Oct 2007
I once saw this in Edinburgh at a 2am screening (I can't believe I was ever young enough to see a 2am screening of anything!). It's Ken Russell of course so it's over the top and a half but romping good fun and everyone's great, especially the wonderful Glenda Jackson being bawdy as all hell.
Salome is played by the fruity Imogen Millais-Scott who delivers her lines like she can taste them. If IMDB is to be believed this was her second and final film, which is a shame really, she had something unique.
Also look out for the wonderful Imogen Claire (character actress from many films including Tommy, Billy Elliot, Lair of the White Worm - she was a Transylvanian in Rocky Horror) in the small role of '2nd Nazarean'.
She seems always able to grab the spotlight even in the smallest parts.
