Salome and the Dance of the Seven Veils(1965)
This color film reprises the female impersonator Adrian's nightclub act of the same name: "'Salome and the Dance of the Seven Veils' introduced the Club 82's new season to New Yorkers, in 1958. It was an immediate hit, and Adrian stayed on for four years, delighting audiences that came from all parts of the country and the world to see him. One of the reasons for its success was that Adrian, wanting everything to go perfectly, designed and made his own costume. He discovered a new talent, which he continues to use. The wax head of John the Baptist, which he uses in his act, is the same one which Brenda Lewis used in the Metropolitan Opera." - Avery Willard, Female Impersonators, 1971.
