Delilah Shines in DeMille's Samson Screen Epic
Reverend P Walter Feenckell reviews Cecil B DeMille's Samson and Delilah at the Bay Theatre, praising faithful biblical arc, impressive technicolor photography, costumes and scenery. Victor Mature excels as Samson, Hedy Lamarr's Delilah may overplay but remains strong, with solid supporting cast. He urges reading Judges before or after viewing to deepen appreciation and notes the climactic destruction of the pagan temple as grand drama.
