About A Modern Salome
When her father's death leaves Virginia Hastings facing a life of poverty, she breaks her engagement to Robert Monti to marry millionaire James Vandam. Unaccustomed to wealth, she entertains lavishly and flirts with many men, although her husband's secretary remains immune to her wiles.
Directed by Léonce Perret, A Modern Salome leans on a strong ensemble — Hope Hampton, Sidney Mason, Percy Standing — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1921.
