5.0 out of 5 stars This is a Fun Movie !
Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2014

With no pretense of historical accuracy, this movie is great escapist entertainment.

Stanley Baker and Stewart Granger are two of my favorite actors, and I have always loved Rosanna Podesta since the first moment I saw her on screen. This is another classic Sword and Sandal film, with an excellent soundtrack.

Stanley Baker really shines as the baddest of bad guys in this one, while Stewart Granger plays the good guy, albeit with some flaws and weaknesses. I always enjoy it when the bad people get their comeuppance at the end of a movie.

I can also recommend some other movies where I believe they put in some impressive performances.
Stanley Baker once again plays a real bad boy in "Helen of Troy" alongside Rosanna Podesta as Helen.
And Baker plays a noble good guy as a British Army Officer in the movie "Zulu".

If you want to see Stewart Granger as a really insidious bad guy, check out the movie called "Wild Geese".
He plays a slick, oily, and treacherous character from the upper crust of British society.

4.0 out of 5 stars Classic Spaghetti Bible-Sploitation Film
Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2019

Docked one star for no actual sodomy - otherwise... everything you could want.
Cast of thousands, dancing girls, gold clad soldiers with swords, dancing girls, sexy evil queen, dancing girls, impassioned speeches, dancing girls, human rotisserie, and yes... even more dancing girls.

So yeah - it's a great family movie - something for everybody.

Best part: Stewart Granger (as Lot) negotiating with emissaries of the omnipotent Jehovah, who apparently has only a vague idea of how many "good men" would be destroyed in the coming vengeful conflagration. Once the buildings start crashing down the evil queen says: "It's only an earthquake... we've had those before." Priceless.

They used to show these kind of movies on Saturday morning when I was a kid (the good old days when there was free TV broadcast over the air and you could drink water right out of the tap. No seriously..., you could drink water right out of the tap).

Spoiler alert!! - In the end good destroys evil - but Lot's wife just had to take one last look at the golden city of sin and depravity and thus is turned into a large pillar of highly valuable salt, Lot's reward for his incredible faith. Lot is so happy to be rich he cries and cries.

A Masterpiece of Italian filmcraft of the era.

For those of us who are Bible readers, we know the story according to Genesis chapter 19. Feel free to read it for yourself. That being said....the moral of the story still came through the generic cinema feature film. (1) God is so loving He allows us to choose life by sincerely repenting of our sins to His Son Jesus Christ, and changing for the better by seeking to live according to God's Word; or (2) You can choose to lean to your own understanding, and continue enjoying a sinful lifestyle of which the wages of sin is death and eternal separation from God. Yeah....choose eternal life with God, and DON'T LOOK BACK!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Fun Movie, but beware of bad quality USA sold DVD masters.
Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2015

Sodom & Gomorrah is one of those camp epic presentations that made so many bible stories come alive in the 50's and 60's. True, it’s not exacting to scripture, especially with central casting quality costumes and dance chirography set in the dusty deserts of biblical times. However it’s just plain fun and worth the price of a ticket (or DVD).

The big problem with this movie (hence the 3 stars) are the confusing assortment of bad to god-awful DVD pressings in circulation. Making matters worse is Amazon’s practice of lumping all the reviews together regardless of format, or pressing. Yes, you can read a review from someone who watched a good quality European market master, and end up buying a junk quality pan & scan USA pressing without being told the difference. Here are the specifics:

(1 Star) DVD “The Bible Collection” Asian Import but sold through Amazon-USA: Pan & Scan PLUS framed top and bottom, with resolution worse then EP VHS tape.

(2 Star) DVD 20th Century Fox Cinema Archives, Amazon-USA: This is a made-to-order DVD-R. You would think that Fox would use a descent master. Not true. It’s also Pan & Scan with only slightly better then the deplorable Asian Import above.

(4 Star) DVD Black Hill / MC- One: From Europe (UK, France, or Germany’s Amazon sites). Actually titled “Sodom UND Gomorrah” this True Widescreen DVD gives generally clean video, and reasonably good sound. Noting that no one I’ve seen has recovered the original stereo-surround tracks for this movie. Until a new master is released, this is best one to pick.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Bible Retelling!
Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2021

Bible classic retelling of what the director and producer thought occurred during that time before the 12 tribes came to be in existance. Some biblical fact, very little, and more poetic license being used, if anything! Still I bought it! . It's good as a teaching tool with regards to the era before the Christ, the various tribes of the nation before God made Israel his chosen people for his name via Abraham, Issac and finally Jacob from which they sprung.

5.0 out of 5 stars Blu ray in doppia versione italiana
Reviewed in Italy on December 21, 2021
Verified Purchase
doppio blu ray che presenta nel disco 1 la versione integrale del 1962 in italiano d'epoca di 155 minuti, nel disco 2 la versione ridistribuita nel 1973 accorciata di 117 minuti (quella che è sempre girata fino ad'ora)
Versione integrale restaurata dai negativi originali TItanus, un bel recupero, ne vale la pena di riscoprire questo kolossal italiano realizzato da Robert Aldrich (ma solo praticamente attribuito a lui perchè in realtà girato e filmato dal nostro Sergio Leone), incredibile che facciano queste edizioni di nostri film all'estero che vengono invece praticamente ignorati nelle uscite italiane.

4.0 out of 5 stars 「海外流浪時代のロバート・アルドリッチがイタリアで撮った聖書題材の歴史スペクタクルロマン大作。」
Reviewed in Japan on December 3, 2018
Verified Purchase
　注意：本レビューは米国（ASIN：:B00J2F6CTC）製のON　DEMAND　DVD-R盤に上げた物です。
　以前米Amazonで取り扱いが有ったイタリア版（ASIN: B00J2F6CTC）は111分版でしたが、本作は154分版。
アルドリッチの編集版と同じ上映時間となっています。
　ただし、オリジナルのビスタ・サイズ(1.85：１)をスタンダード・サイズ（1.33:1）にトリミングしており、ワイド・テレビで観ると左右に縦の黒帯が表示されます。
　画質・音声は最低ではありませんが、中の下位です。
　特典はメニュー画面が付き、予告編が付いている事、チャプターが切ってある事だけでした。
　日本製のDVD、Blu-Rayプレーヤーでも再生可能です。

　1961年、コロンビアとのいざこざや興行的失敗にてハリウッドで映画が撮り難くなったアルドリッチが渡欧3作目としてイタリアで撮った旧約聖書を題材に撮った史劇大作。
　一部翻案（アブラハムではなく、ロトが主役、ソドムから脱出するのがロトの家族だけではなくヘブライ人に奴隷が加わった大勢）されています。

　アルドリッチ自身は大著｢アルドリッチ大全｣内のインタビューでは愚作と切り捨てています（但し映画製作面では得る事が多かった模様。)。
　実は1950-62年頃の作品としては、流石に「ベン・ハー」や「十戒」にはやや見劣りしても、
　・大規模なセットとモロッコロケによる画面
　・ケン・アダムによる勇壮なプロダクション・デザイン
　・ミクロス・ローザによるテーマ音楽
　・主役のスチュワート・グレンジャー（｢キング・ソロモン｣「ワイルド・ギ―ス」）以下、スターリン・ベイカー（｢ズールー戦争｣「ナバロンの要塞」「地獄特急」）やリク・バッタリア、フョードル・シャリアーピン(Jr表記も。｢薔薇の名前｣)等濃い男優陣
　・アヌーク・エーメ(｢火の接吻｣「甘い生活」「男と女」)、ロッサナ・ポゼスタ(｢トロイのヘレン｣「顔の無い殺人鬼」「黄金の七人」)、ピア・アンジェリ(｢傷だらけの栄光｣｢明日では遅すぎる｣)、シッラ・ガベル（「生血を吸う女」）、そして宝みつ子（嵯峨野れい。｢裸体｣）の美しき女優陣
　等は現在の眼で観ても素晴らしく、古典的史劇として充分見所が有る映画です。
　ソドムの退廃振りと残酷趣味の描写は流石に大人しく感じますが、当時のハリウッド史劇よりは若干濃い目となっております。
　特にクライマックスのソドムの滅亡シーン以外でも遊牧民族対ソドムとヘブライ人の連合軍の騎馬を含む戦いはこの時代にしか出来ない大掛かりな物でした。
　俳優陣では特にアヌーク・エーメとスターリン・ベイカーのソドムの覇権を骨肉で争う姉弟が秀逸です
　途中まで第二班監督を受けながら途中解雇されたセルジオ・レオーネはクレジットされていませんでした。
　本作で観られる大規模なセットにパイロエフェクトを加えたミニチュア・ワークとモブ・シーンは後のレオーネの大作(｢夕陽のギャングたち｣)と重なる面も有り、アルドリッチを悩ませたものの、イタリアのスタッフの質の高さも感じられます。

　本作は評者が子供の頃は良くTVの洋画劇場で放映されていましたが、DVD以降、邦盤販売されていません。

　米国ではDVD-Rながら今まで視聴が難しかったアルドリッチ作品「怒りの丘」「女の香り」等も販売され、嬉しい限りです。

　1950-60年代のハリウッド~イタリア大作史劇がお好きな方にはお薦めです。
