Sodom und Gomorrha (subtitle: Die Legende von Sünde und Strafe, translated Sodom and Gomorrah: The Legend of Sin and Punishment; English title: Sodom and Gomorrah, or in full Queen of Sin and the Spectacle of Sodom and Gomorrha) is an Austrian silent epic film from 1922. It was shot on the Laaer Berg, Vienna, as the enormous backdrops specially designed and constructed for the film were too big for the studios of the production company, Sascha-Film, in Sievering. The film is distinguished, not so much by the strands of its often opaque plot, as by its status as the largest and most expensive film production in Austrian film history. In the creation of the film between 3,000 and 14,000 performers, extras and crew were employed.

Synopsis

À Londres, l'homme d'affaires et spéculateur Jackson Harber provoque une panique boursière. Dans le même temps, il "achète" la jeune Mary Conway à sa mère car il veut la "posséder". Mary, très futile, accepte ce "marché". Les "fiançailles" sont organisées au château d'Harber, donnant lieu à une fête grandiose, pleine de débordements et de débauche. Le fils du spéculateur, Eduard, arrive alors, accompagné de son précepteur, un prêtre. Ce dernier recueille la confession d'un mourant, le sculpteur Harry Lighton, venu là se suicider par désespoir, car la jeune fiancée, dont il était épris, l'a repoussée. Bientôt, Mary séduit Eduard et le pousse à tuer son père. Les deux jeunes gens sont arrêtés et condamnés à mort. Dans sa cellule, Mary se transporte en rêve à Sodome.

As Jerry Golding (a young Korean War veteran) scales the heights of show business, he breaks the heart of his father, who had hoped that Jerry would instead follow in the footsteps of six consecutive generations of cantors in their family. Sorrowfully, Cantor David Golding reads the Kaddish service, indicating that, so far as he is concerned, his son is dead. A tearful reconciliation occurs when Jerry dutifully returns to sing the "Kol Nidre" in his ailing father's absence.

Francis Bernardone (Bradford Dillman) is the son of a wealthy cloth merchant in Assisi, who gives up all his worldly goods to dedicate himself to God. Clare (Dolores Hart) is a young aristocratic woman who, according to the film, is so taken with St. Francis that she leaves her family and becomes a nun. By this time (1212 A.D.), St. Francis has a well-established reputation for his vows of poverty. The movie goes on to note miracles (such as the appearance of the stigmata on Francis's hands and feet) and other aspects of his life, up to and including his death on October 3, 1226. The funeral befitted a man loved by man and beast alike, and ended with the birds he loved doing a flyby.
