When the movie Salomé, starring Rita Hayworth and Stuart Granger, came out in 1953, it must have seemed like hot stuff in that cold war, McCarthy-istic, Eisenhower-bland era. Especially the Technicolor Dance of the Seven Veils that Rita Hayworth performs, getting Charles Laughton's attention and causing The Baptist to lose his head.

People are my favorite subjects to portray in art and photos. My wife (and studio partner) has called that my 'people skills', as I've been passionately creating portrait studies for many years.
I refer to myself as a pictorialist, a combination of image-making and journalist. Images are my life.

Apparently Stewart Granger's real name was James Stewart, which he couldn't use becuase of - James Stewart. But betcha ya knew that.
Save for a few exceptions, they don't make movie posters like this anymore.
That is such an amazing painting. Is it Brown? He did a lot of these historical films in addition to all the BEM stuff.
Sounds like a good guess to me, Joe.
