Anyone who is interested in the works of Oscar Wilde might enjoy the films (1990s?) called Salome's Last Dance, based on the play by O.Wilde.

I read quite a bit of his work years ago, and though Dorian Gray is perhaps his finest and most mainstream work, along with the Importance of Being Earnest, this tale is certainly worthy of recognition. His witty, epigrammatic style is a testament to the class of society he often offended, yet delighted. I always found his insolence to be refreshing.

This was a fabulous adaptation and stays true to the original (titled, Lord Arthur Savile's Crime).

The only thing this tale seems to leave out, is how obnoxious and over-bearing the wealthy woman truly is. In the original story, she is often heard to "shout at the top of her lungs" to guests and relatives.

This small bit of info is the only thing that does not clarify exactly why the main character wants to poison her in the first place.

Anyhow, without droning on, this was a wonderful tale that explores a question similar to The Chinaman Button and many other RMT shows, "If you knew you were going to commit a murder AND get away with it, what would you do with this information?"

As oft as Wilde loves to tease the society folk, it is my suspicion that in his own mind, this was pure fanatasy for him, likely derived from his own relations and upbringings.

A morality test which the main character refuses, but inevitably embraces. A caustic embrace, which of course, eventually costs him his own life.

I gave the show a glaring 4.9/5.0 and thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it. Thanks for a great pick!
