Samson and Delilah (1949)
Director: Cecil B DeMille
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Wonderfully chintzy and hokey Bible epic once described as the only film in which the hero had bigger tits than the heroine. Mature looks as constipated as ever, and Lamarr is the Philistine's philistine, but great camp performances from Sanders and Lansbury, and glorious papier-maché sets. Fab.Author:
