    The film that signalled the last days of biblical epics!
    Not quite sure why I am bothering to right anything about this film here tonight, perhaps to give myself a break from finishing my daughter's ancient history assignment which has all but fried my brain!

    Have read the majority of critiques here and with the possible exception of Steve Reeves' impressions which follow this (I think he should stick to playing Hercules!) and which are arguably intelligent, there is not much more to be added. It was neither the best nor the worst of the Biblical yarns but much as I liked it, the latter was nearer the mark. A spaghetti epic was never likely to cause waves at the Academy Awards and so the era came to a halt after this.

    Having said all that however, I would like to make these observations. Over the years, so many films have yielded up memorable one-liners, which run the gauntlet of emotions from sad, funny, sicko, to tearful, powerful, even chillingly awesome ("Look behind you Dr Floyd" from 2010!) Lines such as Drax in MOONRAKER, speaking to an underling "Take Mr Bond away and see that some harm comes to him," make it all worth-while. Two lines which remain indelibly ingrained in my head for all time, are that which Charlton Heston (as Moses) speaks atop the rock overlooking the Red Sea in THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, "Behold the power of the Lord" and Stewart Granger as Lot at the very conclusion of THE LAST DAYS OF SODOM AND GOMORRAH when he sees his wife turning round, "Ildith, DON'T look back!" It makes up for every critical aspect of the previous 152 minutes. Both scenes were imbued with a quality that did something extraordinary for me.

    Yep THE LAST DAYS OF SODOM AND GOMORRAH was certainly low on sin, script and biblical accuracy but it remained watchable enough, even if the girls (as one contributor quite correctly pointed out) appeared to all have had make-overs from Max Factor! Even the sex angle was highly restrained by comparison to current levels of acceptability. It remains though the ONLY film I ever watched at the local theater 5 days running. OK, so I have no taste? Gimme a break, I was only 15!
