A tragic loss when beautiful Brigid Bazlen passed away from cancer at the age of only 44 years! She made three noteworthy films, but the role of Salome is her best role! Such an attractive young woman!
Bless to Brigid Bazien, God forgive sins her’s.
@Titan52berg Yeah breaks my heart to. Tysm Brigid Bazlen ❤ for your hard work dedication and talent!
Yes, she was brilliant.
Brigid .Salome...wonderful...and Erode..too.....
I dont know how she acted her part as an actress, but this is NO dance, guys.
It's funny how a child who was probably manipulated and groomed is still blamed for this murder.
Ikr. The Bible literally says she talked with her mother first before asking for the head. So obviously, it wasn't Salome's idea and she didn't go into the dance with that goal in mind.
😊по обычаям своего времени она уже не была ребёнком.
that thinking comes from people who say we must believe all women and all children even if they are psychopaths.
Yes, she was a child. Yes she was groomed but she was an unknowing accomplice. I don’t blame her because she was a victim now
@@tabularasa7350 she was literally used. If you read the Bible story you find out that she asked her mother what to ask her and her mother told her what to ask for so she was she did not know what she was asking for her mother used her to manipulate hear it because she knew what he liked.
She wasn't just his stepdaughter, she was also his niece.
FACTS 😝😝😝
Other times 🤷🏻♀️
Nearly incest...
She is also 13 to 14 and he nearing sixty
@@InweTaralom origin of Alabama culture..dating back in the Herodian Dynasty of Hellenic Judea/Syria.
God she was beautiful. And died young too. Rest In Peace darling.
I understand why this dance in this movie divides so many opinions. In some parts the dancing is amazing, but in others it's comical and embarrassing. Her dance on the throne was spectacular.
The entire thing was laughable even Shakira is way better I'm a belt dance too and half Egyptian
@@DjDiamstatOfficial I know many Egyptians that dance like they own two left hips!
This actress was called Brigit Bazlen, she was absolutely gorgeous.
Por um momento, pensei que fosse Elizabeth Taylor na juventude.
I enjoyed Brigid's version of Salome. She plays her like an ice-cold psychopath which makes sense. For the haters: They had very strict censorship at that time, so her dance couldn't have been much more exciting.
stefanie3831 And, like, can we talk about how her eyes twitch when she says she wants the head of John as well as how her lip quivers after stating she wants to look at it? It’s just *chef kiss* good acting
Check out Rita Hayworth doing the dance in a film much earlier than this it is much more sexier despite censorship even though she does not show much of herself
@@phildootson2503 Yeah but Rita Hayworth is Rita Hayworth.
Bingo!! The censorship was insane back then.
@@adriannespring8598 Maybe what's insane is our modern lust for spectacle yet facile boredom.
She looks so much like Elizabeth Taylor in this film.
I personally think she most resembles Elizabeth Gillies, particularly from Victorious when she played as Jade West
That isn't E. Taylor... Salome is played by Brigid Bazlen.
Victoria90 Leake her legs are much prettier than Elizabeth Taylor
Nah, Brigid was much hotter and sexier than Elizabeth Taylor. She was rather kid like, but she was pretty.
Brigid Bazlen does look like Elizabeth Taylor. But I thought she looks more like Sofia Boutella.

She is sooo good in this scene,she never blink,she looks crazy and haunted!
Yes 😂
But how wonderfully she pulled it off! September 16 2023 😊
She remembers me Elizabeth Taylor
Back in the time period when the movie was released. I'm sure there were teenage boys who rebelled and watched this movie.
Rebelled? This move was probably in every theatre in the USA, and 1961 was in NO way puritanical times.
Supposedly she was not able to dance, and Miklos Rozsa expressed frustration in his memoir about that. In actual fact, she's ideal and her dance is perfect for its natural innocence. The great Brigid Bazlen, passed too soon. Superb scene, brilliant score and cinematography. Top class.
I thought that was Elizabeth Taylor when I first saw her.
Ishbel Melendez
I thought the same ... who is this girl then ?
Alice Woods Brigid Bazlen is her name
CelticRaven G thanks ! ... I’m surprised that her name was not as famous as Elizabeth Taylor , she is stoning
@@Alicewoods000 well she didn't live long, she died at the age of 44.
Perhaps she should have asked for the head of her dancing instructor instead.
OMG! LOLLL!!
Lmaoooo!!!
Tess d'Urberville 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤️❤️
They weren't allowed to be overly erotic in those days.
No pole 💃.
Your a complete idiot ! if you put all the TRASH SO CALLED DANCERS of today all together , they could not compare to the pure sexuality that emitted from her dance., I am sure you are much more use to the PIGS we have in the strip clubs ., they are more your style
I mean, the king could have been maliciously compliant and still given her John the Baptist's head on a silver platter. She didn't specify he had to be dead. They could have brought a silver platter, put it on a table, and just had John lie on the table with his head on a platter for her to look at. It's still his head on a platter.
Good point
herod was totally drunk, so...
LOL in the scene where Jesus is before Herod it's not John's head she's looking at but a bird in a cage.Amazing how malicious she is in this scene and then the next time she's shown she acts like an innocent child playing with her pet bird.
😂😂😂😂😂
It seems a lot of people in the comments don't like her dance, which I can't understand because I love it! I've watched several Salome dances, from movies and live performances, and this one is in my top favorites. I think the dance is interesting, I especially like the first half. The actress is a perfect Salome, young and seemingly uncaring, frivolous, and toying in her dance. I really like her costume as well, the gold and tangerine color are beautiful paired with her raven hair, and mischievous seductive eyes! Although, I do also enjoy the Salome dances that incorporate thin, flowing and shimmery veils, and more traditional belly dancing.
In the movie from dusk till dawn , A woman does the dance of Salome unnamed as such...I've forgotten her name..latin woman...Tarentino film..ah yes, Salma Hayek. Any stripper is the same...
I am sorry.. but that was not a Rakessa!! Lol that is an insult toward belly dancing! Horrible!
You mean to say there are worst performance than this😨
I keep coming back to this. Her performance and demeanor are spot on…
Live performances where they actually strip completely naked down to the very last robe as Oscar Wilde's play/dance originally intended yes this was all Oscar Wilde's imagination and creation in the 19th century and has no Biblical or historical basis whatsoever but that it actually surpasses the on stage play performance is a hard sell. They have them on UA-cam so based on the ones I've seen your assertion is kind of ludicrous but the actress did the best she could with what she had and it works for what it is which again has no bearing on actual history besides being Oscar Wilde's 19th century wet dream.
This scene is absolutely wonderfully perfectly made in this movie!!! Brigid Bazlen was born to do this movie! Watched this on September 16th 2023 1:54am EST
One of my favorite scenes in this movie ❤❤❤💃😍🤩
For that dance? I would ask for a refund.
I'm reading the comments before I watch and I'm just imagining some head shoulder knees and toes type of shit
Wing Onn 😂
👏
D@mn...lol!!!😂😂😂
Lol 😂
People need to chill out it was made in 1961. Films were often entertaining, cheesy and very inaccurate.
They had no special effects, only dolls or plushy animals
@@IzayoiArwena 🤣🤣🤣
I don't see ANYTHING 'CHEESY" about her , SHE EMITTED PURE SEX ! people today are to use to the Cheap naked PIGS on the poles ~ and not the quality of seduction
Same as today, then.
I think its a given that this scene should be enjoyed for what it is an erotic fantasy about Salome's dance based more on a Vegas Showgirl/Stripper performance than an actual first century Roman occupied Judea dance.🤷🏾♂
I really love the part where Salome gives her best dance and she charmed the king so much that he had no choice but to give him what he wanted so much, and everyone fell in love, including the spectators
She could be Liz Taylor's sister and Jennifer Connelly's mother. Wonderful!
Biblical accounts say that she was prompted by her mother Herodias.
steven evans that is exactly what happened. The mother did not like that John was exposing her sin. Herod didn't want to kill him because he feared his followers, and he liked listening to John
I think you've forgotten something, Me2times: John upset Herod's conscience. Ostensibly satisfying a contract was a convenient excuse for Herod to retaliate...
Yes, the biblical narrative corroborates your words; I merely pointed out an ADDITIONAL facet of the story.
steven evans ni
Yes and after seeing this fragment like 20 years ago i thought Salome wanted it herself. Herodias was a bitch. Her husband died and she married his brother Herod (i think he is son of the Herod who wanted to kill baby Jesus because that was said in a series about Mary. Early 2010s one. And there Herodias was a real pussy, knew that Mary is hiding something but didnt know what it was). And it was a very bad sin those times. But Herod liked Baptist and was upset that Salome wants his head.
People are talking about this witch dance. Poor John was beheaded because of her mother. So evil.
😅
Yep. The way I always heard it is her mother told her to dance for hum and ask for John's head.
Brigid Bazlen was radiance and beauty personified
Nossa, ela era parecida demais com a Elizabeth|Taylor jovem!
BRÍGID BAZLEN ❤️❤️❤️❤️😮😮😮😮
Yes, she was.
Brigid is the best Salome, and this is the best Dance.
Naaah,I prefer Salome in Jesus of Nazareth
@@justaguyivory To each their own.
Imogen Malais-Scott in Ken Russell's 1988 "Salome's Last Dance" may change your mind.
You would hope historical Salome was a better dancer.
THESE CHOREOGRAPHERS ARE TRIPPIN!
It's a toss up between her dancing and pole dancers who can't dance.
Was there a real Salome?
Brigid Bazlen can obviously dance, not sure what you mean. Her moves are very seductive and reflective of the time period.
@@Ivy285 she did go step by step as coreography even that think falled on the table was wanted and written by coreographer
I actually like the dancing. No, it's not what you'd see in a stage production of Strauss' opera or even in a modern movie, but it's fun in a cheesy, campy way.
She did a good job. I'm a professional belly dancer.
Prompted by her mother, Herodias, who was infuriated by John's condemnation of her marriage, the girl demanded the head of John the Baptist on a platter, and the unwilling Herod was forced by his oath to have John beheaded. Salome took the platter with John's head and gave it to her mother.
..yeh so did this happen because Salome mother was betrayed by her husband dumping her for a young fresh conquest...
Brigit was not a dancer by training, but she was a fine actress. Her "dance" is the sexiest Salome I've ever seen.
Guy playing Herod is Frank Thring. He also played Pontius Pilate in Ben-Hur.
Yes he was always a marvellous screen tyrant. I think he was Australian and he plays a Welsh wicked monarch in The Vikings and crops up much later in Mad Max films. Theres something of him in the slippery characters of Victor Buono and as said hes everyones idea of the wicked ruler of anywhere.
The actor was called Frank thring
At least we know just where the inspiration for certain drawings in the 1965 Children’s Bible published by Golden came from, especially since the illustrators accidentally put a beard on Pilate.
One of my fav Salome performances!
I admire this version as much as Rita Hayworth's dance, but this is much more charged with erotic frenzy...when she sits down in the throne it is actually an almost litteral quote from a painting, "Salome Triumphant" by Edouard Toudouze (1886)
Exactly.
Was the offer of anything she wants incentive to dance? I remember it as Herod was so moved/horned up BY the dance that he made the offer after the fact. Maybe I'm remembering it wrong. But I'm pretty sure the payment being John the Baptist's head was her mother's idea, and that Salome herself didn't care much one way or the other. She was trying to please her momma. That's the Bible story.
You’re right it was her mothers idea but the offer was before the dance
Frank Thring played as King Herod. A brilliant actor.
Her mom hated John the Baptist because he was very blunt & spoke the truth.
Her face is perfect as she asks for what she wants...
that final pose 2:40 - 2:46 is pure dark art...like something out of a japanese horror film.
Brigid Bazlen (Salome) was only 17 when this was filmed "King of Kings" (1961). Brigid was born in Wisconsin of German ancestry. She was described as a "young Elizabeth Taylor." I think Elizabeth had a much more beautiful face and, of course, those extraordinary violet blue eyes. Brigid's eyes appear to be amber/green hazel. Not much of a dancer, but very pretty.
I think she was equally pretty with Elizabeth Taylor and body wise even more prettier than Elizabeth.
In fact Brigid was 16 when making the film but 17 by the time it was released.
And the "erotic" dance was so lame because at this time, the censors frowned on a 16 year old girl doing an erotic dance.... notice that her belly button is hidden.... She did little film work after this...
She's more attractive than Elizabeth Taylor.
She actually was of Scottish and Irish descent. Her father was Arthur Bazlen.
She is my favorite Salome. She captured the the Lolita quality I feel Salome would have had
He was willing to offer half of his kingdom, I think she should have been fined for such a performance.
Lmaoooo yoooo!!-!
She is so beautiful no wonder they did everything she asked for
Love Brigids costume and dancing
This movie was from King of Kings, where actor Jeffrey Hunter played the part of Jesus. It is a very good movie. These biblical movies during this time, had the beautiful technicolor scenes and costumes as well as very well know A list actors and actresses. The Ten Commandments, Ben- Hur, Samson and Deliah, The Robe,
Sodom and Gomorrah, David and Bathsheba, The Bible are movies we remember and watch over and over.
Salome was used by her mother to be the beautiful seductress to captivate King Herod and he told her he would give her anything she asked for even to the half of his kingdom. Her mother, Herodias, hated John the Baptist for sternly rebuking King Herod and her publicly for their adulteress affair since she was still the wife of his brother who was still alive. King Herod was caught up in his lust for the sensual and beautiful princess Salome which meant that death would come to God’s faithful servant, John the Baptist.
The name should have "Whorerodias"
Sorry, but this is a pretty cheesy movie. Ben Hur holds up pretty well, tho it has some pretty sucky moments too. King of Kings ain't no Ben Hur. Jeffrey Hunter as Jesus. Lol. Pretty boy white guy much?
@@brucemacmillan7128 .. The best Jesus movies are Jesus of Nazareth, and The Passion of the Christ.... To me, Ben Hur was one of the best movies ever made and The Ten Commandments.
@@aleciabjorlie3103 I never saw Mel Gibson's torture porn movie (aka The Passion), but I certainly know a lot about it. Jesus of Nazareth was pretty good I suppose, but all Jesus portrayals are at least somewhat suspect, considering how much baggage the character comes with. 2000 years worth. One of the main reasons Ben Hur was pretty good is cuz the Jesus character wasn't central to the movie and thankfully never spoke. Tho I certainly wished that Balthazar character would've shut his yap. Boy was he annoying. They should've crucified him too. As for Ten Commandments, the cheese factor in that movie was pretty massive. There is no comparison between Ben Hur and TC. TC was rather a joke by comparison. Anyway, I'm an atheist, so don't expect me to take any of this stuff seriously.
@@brucemacmillan7128 I mean, it IS an old movie....cheesiness was all what these old movies were.
Also, you have to take into account when they were creating the Jesus character for these movies, it was account for what was MADE back then. He is SUPPOSE to be pretty, I mean, taken into account what they're basing the source material from (not to mention, I suspect the audience is a mix for Christian based and the average movie goer trying to enjoy a epic story). Also Ben Hur is a WAY different than TC and King of Kings. Same scales of epic movies yes but DIFFERENT stories. Ben Hur was also based on BEN HUR...not Jesus of course. It's kind of like how Siddhartha is (basically a story about a character who finds his own spiritual enlightment yet follows parallel events with the Buddha).
Wow, he maybe should have asked her to sing or something
"Bring me the head of John the Baptist."
Yes
I thought that was Liz Taylor! Thats why I clicked this!
why this beautiful creature is not famous she is beautiful like Elizabeth Taylor
She didn't have the acting chops that Taylor had...beauty indeed, but limp performances.
+blue heaven uhhhh Brigid Balzen was neither African American nor an Oscar contender.
+kate carew *Bazlen
kate carew some place says she was born in fon dulac Wisconsin other than that it also says she was first African American actress to be nominated Academy of award for best actress,she doesnt look African American to me but neither Charlize Theron does at this point might that imfo is wrong because many other places says she was born Wisconsin U.S.A YOU ARE RIGHT I AGREED SHE IS NOT AFRICAN AMERICAN,THANKS:)
+blue heaven she was born in Wisconsin :D
Hey, pretty cool of you to not be a stinker about this!
I'm sorry there's some weird ass bio out there about her!
I saw this at 5 in the early 90s . I knew at a young age what an evil women looked and behaved like . This scene was burned into my head. Its a good representation of the evil women in pop culture , Hollywood,music, and entertainment in general. Lord help our daughters.
Did anyone ever tell you you're a simp and an idiot? Cuz you are.
Yes!
@@brucemacmillan9581 Stop using simp out context. This comment is the opposite of simping 😐
@@wiseguy240Winston I have no idea what you're referring to.
Imagine if this had been filmed today and she was twerking instead 🤣
Honestly the dance was kinda stupid.
Right. 😂
😂😂😂😂
I'm would never imagine a person with that vocabulary would even be here.
No, but funny
The actress playing "Salome" is perfect for ‘Orange, the biblical Black?
Shaquille Staley THANKS
Rem Remy vbnbn
For an erotic fictionalized version of her dance yes
I'm watching this today which is the day we honor the martyrdom of St John the Baptist
SHE LOST HER HEAD too after -- GOD WILL NoT BE MOCKED
I think her dance was probably along the lines of that time. She did fine
Is it just me that actresses from old films look so prettiet. And hotter if I think that cosmetic enhancements are not like it is today
Dude should have said this instead: I’ll give you ALMOST anything you want - that way he leaves himself some wiggle room.
True
I know right
Beautiful!
I thought her.dancing was great and very seductive.
No matter. Can you dance like that? She played an excellent role !
What QUALITY in Acting , Dancing , Scripts , Music , Costumes etc... it makes today's HOLLYWOOD , look like complete CLOWNS , I am glad that I my eyes enjoyed the very best of AMERICA , and I grew up in a time with the Greatest of ENTERTAINERS ., They will NEVER be forgotten , and NEVER Surpassed
Agreed
Wow at first I thought she was Liz Taylor. Had to really look.
Elizabeth Taylor certainly was a stunning multi-faceted actress.
YES SHE WAS-BUT SHE WAS NOT IN THIS MOVIE
Fun Fact: Brigid Bazlen, the actress playing Salome, was born in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin 😉
OKHomoRose at 1944
But was she half African American?
No
She died of cancer at 44.
What's so fun about being born in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin?
Magnific,Soberb Brigid Bazlen
This is how wicked woman can be, and how lustful men can be.
VERY VERY TRUE
No lies stated here
EXCELLENT COMMENT 9 MONTHS AGO
For that fact that Herodian dynasty practised siblings marriage, Salome is looking good. 😋
I. Love. Brigid. Bazlen
She died at about 45 years old.
She looks like Liz Taylor 😲
They had Liz in mind for the role, but couldn't afford her.
Eye always the eye liz are blue purple
@@zephyrcublee
She had deep blue eyes not purple.
@@aliceberntsson1635 yes blue I always thought they looked a bit purple deep.. but definitely a color of eye NOT TERRIBLY. COMMON PEOPLE HAD COMPARED HER EYES TO A TANZINITE STONE SHE WAS GIVIN BY R BURTON AND I THINK THAT LOOKS LIKE PURPLE UNDERTONES. EITHER WAY QUITE BEAUTIFUL. I CANT THINK OF ANYONE OFF HAND FAMOUS OR OTHERWISE WITH COMPARABLE EYE COLOR OF THE E.TAYLOR HUE.
@@billmurray7473
It's a good thing Miss Taylor wasn't chosen for the part of Salome. That would have been a serious case of miscasting, because Salome was supposedly in her teens at the time that John The Baptist was imprisoned by King Herod. Liz Taylor would have been too old for the role.
Beautiful and loved her dancing. Seducing that poor man for a head of John the Baptist
Brigid Baslen will always be the best
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Best performance of this dance.
I rather liked this. I found this sexy when I was in high school in the 1990s and honestly this was about as sexual as they could get in 1961 because of the censors. I have always thought that the New Testament was suggesting that Salome did a lot more for old Antipas to get John the Baptist executed then simply a sexy dance. Plus, I agree with stefanie3831 that Brigid Bazlen does a good job playing Salome as a monster as she is depicted in the Bible.
Featuring Frank Thring as Herod and Rita Gam as Heriodias.
i love that colour orange its beautiful
Most gorgeous salome ever
BEAUTIFUL
Most King's want what they can't have.
She was gorgeous and her dance was much better than the one shown in “The Chosen”.
The actress here playing Salome sadly died very young.
Waoh really??
Oh..
:( that's sad
She died at 44.
@@EJP286CRSKW
Oh...sad. :(
She now belongs to the ages, having been laid to rest in 1989.
In the movie Brigid Baslen as Salome asks John when he is imprisoned if he would like her to visit him in his cave and he refuses and insults her,if it was me Id have said yes please princess Salome EVERY DAY!
Clearly he knew the temptation of a girl that incredibly beautiful would be almost impossible to resist. Its certainly tragic that in many instances the inner beauty is nowhere near as great as the outer beauty. I wonder if the actual Salome was that beautiful? Please see my Genesis 6 Sons of God, The Nephilim & Biblical Origins of The Occult playlist.
O filme retrata ricamente o feminino em total esplendor, unindo o poder da dança, do erotismo e do drama, se utilizando também de um figurino oriental que esbanja uma performance diferenciada. O marco dessa apresentação é fluidez em que a dança se apresenta, sem muitos recursos coreograficos, o que traz a verdade sobre as possibilidades do que a dança tem a nos propor, independentemente do lugar, público e cultura.

I have enjoyed your literature and how you explain things in such a wonderful highly intelligent way. ❤👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
0:25 She looks very much like Bjork!
Reva FoSho exactly what I was thinking. She's like a mix between Bjork and Elizabeth Taylor
They could have at least given her lessons in real belly dance, it's quite full to the trained eye.
Even half of my kingdon ... hahaha, when a king doesn't accomplish his word, he losts his entire kingdon.
Very well done. Sin, lust, drunkenness, murder, injustivce, inequity, etc. Horrible typical mankind stuff.
Belo Filme. Salomé dança para Herodes Antipas, a pedido da mãe Herodiades, pois esta queria a cabeça de João Batista.
Ohh, que gran historia, y ella genial con su dance.
Now this!!!! is what should be performed by 50 women... during Super Bowl halftime.
I always loved her performance. She's just gorgeous and I remember seeing this movie as a kid and saying I wanted to be Salome because she was pretty and has a cool outfit. Great movie overall
Dude was such a simp lol
She is like a Elizabeth Taylor with brown eyes
Pretty actress died too young
I want to see her dance in 1977
Olivia as Mary
What movie is the best version of this? If anyone knows please tell
King of Kings
Thank you
He must have been really drunk...
Hahahaha 😂😂😂
1 OF GOD'S BEAUTIFUL CREATIONS
I CANNOT REVEAL IT, IN MY IMAGINATION, SALOME HERSELF OF HER, PHYSICAL BEAUTY
I would not call this a strict Belly Dance. She is not bad, in fact better than most.
She looks like Elizabeth Taylor...
Haha... finally found the scene with the executioner where he rattles his big sword against the bars. Heads up Baptist!
Not all old people are gifted with wisdom or maturity. You sir are to be pitied.
I wonder how an exotic dancer worthy of their craft would manage to slip something like that under their garter without getting squeamish!
This was my favorite Jesus movie & In modern society Salome was Jessica Hahn & Monica Lewinski for Bakker & Clinton
Like a young Elizabeth Taylor, terrible what she danced for....
Troco esquisito 😮
