Trivia
Yvonne De Carlo's first starring role. The movie's success made her a star and she signed a contract with Universal Pictures.

Goofs
"Bismarck herring" only acquired its name in 1871, when Karoline and Johann Wiechmann, who ran a fish pickling business in Stralsund, on Germany's Baltic Coast sent Bismarck a barrel of pickled herring (the second such), accompanied by a note asking whether they could name their pickled fish after the great man.

Quotes
Madam Europe: By the way, what play do you aim to do?
Jim: Max, that's your department.
Prof. Max: A pantomime. Why not... why not "The Sleeping Beauty"?
Madam Europe: Uh-uh, not here. They don't like 'em sleeping.
Jim: I know something that'll wake 'em up - "Salome."
Madam Europe: "Salome"? Does she dance that good?
Prof. Max: "That good"? Drinkman Wells will remember it forever.

This did NOT age well.

"Salmone, Where She Danced" is Yvonne De Carlo's first movie. Apparently it made her a star...though today you wonder why. The movie isn't particularly good and there isn't much to recommend it.

The story begins in Vienna. Salome (De Carlo) is a bit but war is coming, so she accepts an American's offer to come to the States on tour. Once there, the audiences in the American west go insane for her...much like they did when Lillie Langtree toured the west. And, everywhere she goes, men go mad for her...though she seems particularly taken by a highway man who used to be a Confederate soldier.

The film never seems the least bit real, the men ALL go gaga for her in a way that is simply ridiculous and her singing and dancing are NOT particularly arousing or exciting to watch. I actually had a hard time sticking with this one...and the ending, well, it just seemed pretty tough to believe. All in all, a movie I wish I'd just skipped.
