In fairness, attempted angel-rape was probably a little strong for the production code era, which forbade even the mention of homosexuality. It's undoubtedly a fair point: the story of Lot, Sodom and Gomorrah lasts for only three chapters of Genesis (13, 14 and 19) - not much material for a 150 minute film - yet nearly all of the biblical story, including the moment for which the cities were judged, was somehow omitted. Stephen Lang, in his "The Bible on the Big Screen", subtitles Robert Aldrich's Sodom of Gomorrah "Not the Sin We Expected". More generally I've given a number of talks / led through groups on Jesus in Film and was a consultant for the Channel 4 documentary The Passion : Films, Faith and Fury. I have also written for various other publications including rejesus. I've also contributing to various edited works including " T&T Clark Handbook to Jesus and Film" (2021), " The Bible Onscreen in the New Millennium", " The T&T Clark Companion to the Bible and Film" (2018) and "The Bible in Motion" (2016). I've studying the Bible on Film for twenty years, with my first book "100 Bible Films" (BFI) due out in May 2022.
