Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Clarissa Mora The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

gridoon2018 The first hour is rather dull, probably because it focuses more on the righteous Hebrews than the fun-loving Sodom and Gomorrah folks; but then the film hits its stride, with a series of spectacular sequences: the battle of the Hebrews with a nomadic tribe (almost rivaling the battle scenes in "Spartacus"), the water dam break, the slave revolt, the long one-on-one fight between Stewart Granger and Stanley Baker, and of course the destruction of the cities by the hand of God. Even Robert Aldrich's direction becomes more dynamic. Of course the censorship of the times restricts what can actually be shown on the screen, and what is shown barely justifies the infamy of the title cities, but there are some mildly kinky moments, mostly courtesy of Stanley Baker, who suggestively bites the finger of his sister and asks Podesta "Do I remind you of your father?" while he's kissing her. *** out of 4.

WordWeaver777 I just completed watching the original 154-minute version of this film.Aside from the fact that it features a character named Lot, along with his wife who is ultimately transformed into a pillar of salt, Lot's two daughters, the brief appearance of what we assume to be two Angels, and the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, there is very little in the storyline which adheres to or resembles the account which we find in Genesis 18:16-19:38 in the Bible. In short, 99.9% of this movie is pure fiction.Let me give you a few examples.In the Scriptures, it is the Patriarch Abraham who has a conversation with the Lord and two of His Angels, and who begs the Lord to spare the two wicked cities if even ten righteous men can be found in them. However, in this movie, it is Lot who has this conversation. Furthermore, while Abraham is briefly mentioned once or twice, he is nowhere to be seen whatsoever.In the Bible, Lot's two daughters are both already married when it comes time to flee from Sodom. Furthermore, when Lot warns their husbands to leave Sodom, they both mock him. As a result, only Lot, his wife and his two daughters flee from Sodom, escorted by the two Angels. In contrast, in this movie, Lot leads a whole band of obedient Hebrews out of Sodom just prior to the city's destruction, and the two Angels are nowhere in sight.While the Bible makes clear that the sin of Sodom and Gomorrah was homosexuality -- for example, see Genesis 19:4-8 where the word "know" implies engaging in sex -- this is not made evident in the movie. There is some evidence in the film which suggests sexual immorality. For example, in the opening frames we see people -- male and female -- laying all over the place, suggesting that they have just engaged in an orgy. Later on, it is also implied that the queen of Sodom has engaged in a lesbian relationship with one of her dancers. Finally, we are given to understand that the queen's brother has sexually abused both of Lot's daughters. Nevertheless, there is no outright hint that the people of Sodom engaged in homosexuality.There are other problems with the plot in regards to the Scriptures, but I will leave it at that.Aside from the fact that most of the movie is pure fiction -- including the long-drawn-out battle seen -- another problem I had is that I simply did not connect with any of the characters. I felt no empathy for any of them. As a result, because I had no emotional investment in any of them, even when Lot's wife turned into a pillar of salt, it really didn't affect me in the least.Regarding the actors' performances, I didn't find any of it outstanding; not even Stewart Granger's or Pier Angeli's.In conclusion, if you view this film with a low expectation that it will adhere closely to the Bible, you may possibly enjoy it. However, if you are like me and Biblical accuracy is important to you, you may watch it once out of curiosity, but then never watch it again.

argamenor2012 I like this movie "THE LAST DAYS OF SODOM AND GHOMORRA", (all the actors are good enough), but not the way is told, because there are many mistakes in the sequences related in the movie, far apart from the book "Genesis" if you read chapters 13 till 19, you will see what I mean. the techniques and effects they employed are magnificent, considering the year the movie was done, but we must remark that God send fire from heaven to destroy the two cities like is related in Genesis. the two cities were discovered in 1973, near the Salt sea (Dead sea). Stewart Granger one of my favorite actors is well done his performance as Lot and credible, also Stanley Baker is very good in his role of Astaroth. Pier Angeli is here very charm and sweet as Ildith and Rossana Podesta as Shuah. I think that this kind of movie would do best for Cecil B.deMille expert in epic movies like "The ten commandments" Sansom and Delilah, Cleopatra, The sign of the cross, The greatest show on earth, etc.

John Allen For those who wish to watch a Bible movie that is engaging, well acted and visually exciting, you can't do much better than Sodom and Gomorrah, starring Stewart Granger and Anouk Aimee.Two cities, both filled with hedonism, treachery and lasciviousness, are visited upon by Abraham's nephew Lot and his people. For a price, they settle in across the river from Sodom, a city wrought with slavery, excess and drunkenness. The citizens of Sodom, long since accustomed to their lifestyles, are intrigued by these hard working, morally upright people who call themselves sons and daughters of a desert God. Sodom's ruler sees these people as an opportunity for wealth, while her brother, the King of Sodom, sees the potential for military strength. Either way, the Hebrews are in more danger than they realize, especially when, after an attack by a desert clan, the Hebrews lose everything and must move inside Sodom for protection.From there it is a downward spiral until the people themselves become like the Sodomites, knowing good but doing evil. And Lot, too, becomes ensconced with this new life of sin and power, until he is brought down by the very ones he obeyed.It is a powerful movie of redemption and righteous judgment, and it is a wonderful movie to see. I highly recommend "Sodom & Gomorrah". For those of us who love the Biblical epics, it's hard to top.~John
