Levine, famous for bringing cut-rate Hercules and Japanese monster flicks to these shores and promoting the hell out of them. The movie was a French/Italian/American production financed by the likes of Joseph E. I think the filmmakers just didn’t want to hide Granger’s famous jutting chin. Ostensibly this is because Lot is in mourning after the death of his wife, but he remarries midway through and the chin whiskers never appear. He’s got the same poofy white-and-grey pompadour that Charlton Heston wore in “The Ten Commandments,” though sans beard. Stewart Granger plays Lot from the famous biblical tale of “Sodom and Gomorrah” (as this film was known everywhere else in the world but America). “The Last Days of Sodom and Gomorrah” is a classic example of mid-century ersatz Hollywood cheese, a cynical attempt to rip off a spectacularly successful film on the cheap.
