Sub-par De Mille Biblical Epic
“Samson and Delilah” is Cecil B. DeMille’s 1949 Technicolor biblical melodrama loosely based on an episode in the book of Judges.<br /><br />The relationship between Samson (Victor Mature) and the tempestuous Delilah (Hedy Lamarr) gets short shrift, as DeMille concentrates on Samson’s incredible feats of strength, including wrestling a lion to death with his bare hands. The studio-bound movie clearly suffers from a restrictive budget. Though it aspires to the heights achieved six years later with DeMille’s “The Ten Commandments,” it comes off as a disappointment.<br /><br />Samson’s strength is conveyed with various pre-CGI means, including rear projection, fake pillars, wire work, and a carefully hidden stuntman standing in for Mature in that lion battle. Much of the movie is comprised of talky scenes on studio sets. The climax, edited to maximize its impact, is Samson destroying the temple, bringing down prop pillars on a terrified throng.<br /><br />The supporting cast includes George Sanders, Angela Lansbury, Russ Tamblyn, and frequent DeMille performer Henry Wilcoxon.<br /><br />There are no bonus features in the new Blu-ray release.

Here is a brief synopsis of the title : An epic tale of strength and seduction! When strongman Samson rejects the love of the beautiful Philistine woman Delilah, she seeks vengeance that brings horrible consequences they both regret.
