Charlotte, that was amazing, thank you so much. It gave me chills on a hot summer day.

I saw this film when it was first released and although it is directed by Caol Reed who directed The Third Man , it isn't as good. However, Welitsch''s performance in this short clip is simply amazing even if it was her most famous role.

Shucks, no closeup! Ah, well, glad even this bit exists on film at all! Very 'Third Man'-ish atmosphere here... Thanks for uploading this rare gem!

My goodness! I never knew this existed! Another reason to treasure Carol Reed is that he preserved even a fragment of Ljuba's magnificent Salome! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for posting this. Gorgeous stuff!  One should note, though, that in this particular "Salome" Herod's last line is missing. I guess this time the girl lived ...

She sounds even more youthful than she usually does in this! What a treasure!

Of course you are!!!

Fabulous! Somewhere there must be a film of the Welitsch performance made for the movie - where is it!  Find it, please!

"At least tell me what I'm to do" and then Salome sings "Was soll ich jetz tun, Jokanaan?" such a funny coincidence! Fantastic to see this little snippet of Ljuba, thanks a million.

Great comment on an amazing fragment of operatic history! I couldn't believe this scene when I first saw the film.
