VHS Movie Reviews of Sodom & Gomorrah
Movie Review: Serious departure from original story
Summary: 3 Stars
When I saw that this film was almost 150 minutes in length, I was curious to see how the film-makers expanded on a story that is only a few pages long in the book of Genesis. As it turns out, I'm kinda sorry I found out. Why? Because the story in this film bears almost no resemblance to that original story. Outside of the characters of "Lot" and his daughters, and the two cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, everything else is either seriously embellished or completely fabricated. In short, it is almost an entirely different story from the original.
Taken on its own, the movie is OK. Some of the special effects are weak, but I realize that it was made in the early 1960s and wasn't a huge budget film. The queen of Sodom, although a non-biblical figure, was played rather well by Anouk Aimee. Stewart Granger was also convincing as "Lot."
Because of those performances I gave the film three stars. But DO NOT watch this with any expectations of seeing a re-telling of the original story. It is far from that!
