    Return to Babylon

    Reviewed by

    There's no doubt in my mind through all the reading and research I've done on Hollywood's SILENT ERA that the teens and twenties were a notorious time of everything that might be considered unwholesome in human nature though none of it bothers me in the least as I keep a completely open mind to everything. Jennifer Tilley and Conchita Alonzo star in what seems to be a satiric look at Hollywood of so long ago when sex scandals even leading to death were almost a regular occurrence, when half the directors and stars were gay ( who cares? ) and orgies were thrown by directors and stars on Sundays, a day that no film shooting was done. The reason that most got away with everything is that they had the protection of their studios, Hollywood was little more than a hick town back then without even a proper policing department. And the stars had a type of silent code as they wanted to have fun and be genuinely BAD!

    I'm very laid back and truly believe persons should be allowed to do or believe anything they want UNLESS it is harmful to others. Those who believe that Hollywood is a wild town today haven't the vaguest idea of what went on in the day. I've been to Hollywood at least 5 or 6 times and it's NOT THE PLACE IT WAS. It's actually pretty boring, nothing but a tourist trap with almost no films ever being made there as in the STUDIO DAYS! It's actually a deadly place to live or visit! Most of the greatest stars live as far away from the place as is possible and that includes A listers like Meryl Streep, Matt Mc., Julia Roberts and on and on one can go.

    RETURN TO BABYLON IS NOT A GOOD film, not even a "so so" one, but I recommend it to give you an idea of the Sodom and Gomorrah it was! It does depict a hell of a lot that was almost the norm for the time so see it as a bad slice of film history. YOU'LL BE SURPRISED! This stuff is not made up! It all actually happened on a regular basis!
