The quintessential cliché in a PEPLUM film: orgies or pagan feasts. These scenes were big draws back in the day. They even mentioned these moments on their movie posters. I posted most of these at PEPLUM X yesterday but thought it was too good not to post it here.

Sorry to nit-pick but that is not Claire Bloom in ALEXANDER THE GREAT, but french actress Danielle Darrieux, playing Olympias - Alexander's mother.
Love that orgy scene in SOLOMON & SHEBA, and SODOM AND GOMORRAH had some great moments too, particularly with Anouk Aimee's lesbian queen, Scilla Gabel, Helen of Troy Rosanna Podesta and smouldering Stanley Baker. Its like a nuclear bomb hits them at the end, and of course Pier Angeli as the pillar of salt! Director Robert Aldrich went on to WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE next ...
Mike, thanks for the heads up!
After doing SODOM & GOMORRAH I'm sure Robert Aldrich was happy to do a twisted "kitchen sink" drama like BABY JANE.
Gina's dance in SOLOMON & SHEBA is very sexy, and she really did it well.
Foi realmente uma cena na qual Gina dançava para os Deuses porque eram politeistas.🙇♀️🙇♀️💓💓
