    Cecil B. DeMille is one of the all time greats from the Golden Era of Hollywood. Don't put too much weight into the Rotten reviews from Rotten Tomatoes, above. Take note of the date that reviews were written. The movie was released in 1949. The criticisms noted in those reviews speak to the acting styles used by actors of that time. Actors and actresses that espoused those qualities were sought out and hired. Directors and producers actively sought them out. The critic(s) obviously forgot that, or don't understand it. The movie is a classic, with all the pagentry and glamour of the age. Its wonderful. Movies like this aren't made any more, despire the introduction of technology that may replace all the pagentry.

    Best Biblical depiction of the Story of Sampson…highly recommended for all watchers…Victor Mature does an excellent job in his performance of Sampson
