1933 Lot in Sodom


Lot in Sodom

Director: James Sibley Watson, Jr., Melville Webber


Cast:  Friedrich Haak, Hildegarde Watson

Notes:  Experimental short based on Biblical story.

Storyline:  The story is much closer to the tale than other films like Sodom and Gomorrah. Sodom is a place of sin. An angel appears there and he is welcomed by Lot. The people of Sodom want to have sex with him. Lot refuses; then the angel tells him to escape the city with his wife and daughter. Sodom is then destroyed by the flames; Lot's wife is turned to a pillar of salt for having looked back.
