Salome (1953)
In the reign of emperor Tiberius, Gallilean prophet John the Baptist preaches against King Herod and Queen Herodias. The latter wants John dead, but Herod fears to harm him due to a prophecy.

But Salome and her lover Claudius are–contrary to Scripture–nearing conversion to the new religion.
