DVD Reviews of Salome's Last Dance [ NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.2 Import - Italy ]
DVD Review: The only disc alternative, since Region 1 is out of print
Summary: 4 Stars
It's unfortunate that DVDs have the region encoding, because it's a crime that this quirky, naughty, fun flick is not available in Region 1 (North America). The copies that do exist for R1 are horribly overpriced, and yet in the Italian market, they continue to print this English language film and sell it at standard DVD prices.
Luckily, as with all technology, there are work-arounds. For those so inclined, there are ways to make this DVD function in America (or anywhere else), whether it be by purchasing a region-free DVD player, buying a cheapo DVD player and resetting its region to your region of choice (some even allow you up to three changes before locking permanently), or by transforming this Region 2 disc into something a bit more Region 1 friendly (And by the way, to those who want to know, the disc has only 4.19GB on it). Finally, you could try to find a region-free DVD player for your PC, although this may be a bit harder to do.
You can turn off the Italian subtitles, and watch it with the original English soundtrack. Except for the menus, region, and packaging, this is pretty much the same as the out-of-print Region 1 DVD release (in PAL format, of course, but that can also be dealt with).
Until the Region 1 distributors get their heads out of their butts, this is the only choice for anyone to watch this classic. Get it, even if you have to skirt the standard rules a bit. Oscar Wilde would agree.
UPDATE: Since this review, Amazon Video On Demand, Hulu, and Fancast have added "Salome's Last Dance" to their library. You can buy your own digital copy from Amazon now for under ten bucks! Perhaps this will bring the price of the discs down, in the future.

Description of Salome's Last Dance [ NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.2 Import - Italy ]
Italy released, PAL/Region 2 DVD: it WILL NOT play on standard US DVD player. You need multi-region PAL/NTSC DVD player to view it in USA/Canada: LANGUAGES: English ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), Italian ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), Italian ( Dolby Digital 5.1 ), Italian ( Subtitles ), SPECIAL FEATURES: Interactive Menu, Remastered, Scene Access, SYNOPSIS: Late on Guy Fawkes Day, 1892, Oscar Wilde arrives at a high-class brothel where a surprise awaits: a staging of his play 'Salome,' with parts played by prostitutes, Wilde's host, his lover Bosey, and Lady Alice. The movie moves between the play and Wilde's night. In the play, Herod begs his pubescent step-daughter Salome to dance for him, promising her anything she desires. Her mother, Herodias, objects. Salome is stung by John the Baptist's rejection of her affections. The prophet's scolding celibacy puts him between the expressed desire of age and youth. Wilde dallies with a young man as he watches the show, provoking Bosey's jealousy. Two surprises await us. ...Salome's Last DanceBestsellers in DVD
