(Charles Bryant, Alla Nazimova, United States, 1922, 72 min)
Allah Nazimova stars in the Oscar Wilde-scripted story of Salome, a silent film classic that shows the infamous and salacious dance done in exchange for the head of John the Baptist. Valentino's wife, Natacha Rambova (the former Miss Winifred Shaughnessy of Salt Lake City, Utah) robs Aubrey Beardsley blind, and brings his drawings to wonderful life in dramatic black and white. Her costumes for this work are nothing short of magical, and the pearl wig haunts one's dreams.

(Michael Sarne, United States, 1970, 94 min)
This wild and X-rated adaptation of Gore Vidal's scintillating novel is a cult film like no other. Raquel Welch portrays the extraordinary title character, in one killer outfit after another, thanks to the genius of Theadora Van Runkle (best known for her costumes for The Great Gatsby and Bonnie and Clyde).

Jun 26
(Mike Hodges, United States, 1980, 35mm, 111 min)
A homoerotic space trip with harness-clad bird men, a fanciful emperor with a penchant for beaded gowns, and numerous scenes with our shirtless hero tied up and helpless. Delish. A golden phallus of cinematic art, Flash Gordon is Danilo Donati on poppers, going full gay outré space.
