Censorship
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. When Salammbò was first released in Italy in 1960 the Committee for Theatrical Review of the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities reviewed the film. They decided that in order for the film to be screened publicly, the Committee recommended the removal of the scene in which Mathos, lying in bed, sensuously kisses Salammbò on her neck and her chest repeatedly. The reason for the restriction, cited in the official documents, is that the scene is considered to be offensive to decency and morality. The official document number is: N° 31319, it was signed on 30 Mar 1960 by Minister Umberto Tupini.
Release
The Loves of Salammbo was released in Italy on 16 September 1960 with a 110-minute running time.[1] It was released in the United States in October 1962 with a 72-minute running time.[1]
