Sodom and Gomorrah** 
aka: The Last Days of Sodom and Gomorrah

(Ita/Fra/US 1962)

Lot leads the Hebrews out of the decadent cities of Sodom and Gomorrah as they crumble, but at the cost of his own wife who looks back.
Elaborated and patched-together European effort, but surprisingly accessible and never plodding, with a sense of florid style instead of De Mille's campness.
