"Salome" aka "Salome: The Dance of the Seven Veils" (1953)
starring Rita Hayworth, Stewart Granger, Charles Laughton, Judith Anderson and Cedric Hardwicke
IMDB summary:
In the reign of emperor Tiberius, Gallilean prophet John the Baptist preaches against King Herod and Queen Herodias. The latter wants John dead, but Herod fears to harm him due to a prophecy. Enter beautiful Princess Salome, Herod's long-absent stepdaughter. Herodias sees the king's dawning lust for Salome as her means of bending the king to her will. But Salome and her lover Claudius are (contrary to Scripture) nearing conversion to the new religion. And the famous climactic dance turns out to have unexpected implications.

It's quite silly because they have Salome being a sort of innocent damsel who doesn't MEAN for them to behead John the Baptist! That's not quite how the story goes, but for some reason they didn't want Rita to be like this biblical vixen. Check out the versions of the story in "The Greatest Story Ever Told" and "King of Kings".
So, you were almost there with your title. I've seen two versions: same movie but different title in the opening sequence. Before I knew this was an occasional occurrence, I thought I was bonkers, that I couldn't even remember a title! It's also a tricky way to sell two movies to people. Some low-budget films can have as many as five or six different titles!
TRIVIA: Anderson and Hardwicke have appeared in a number of films together, including "The Ten Commandments", "Tycoon", and "Caesar & Cleopatra".
TRIVIA 2: One of the guards is played by Eduardo Cansino, Rita Hayworth's father!
Salome
I think it's called "Salome."
Probably, "Salome" She was a very beautiful actress that came to a tragic ending.
Is it Gilda???????
