“There are more flowing garments in this picture, more chariots, more temples, more peacock plumes, more animals, more pillows, more spear-carriers, more beards, and more sex than ever before.”
—The New York Times

One of Cecil B. DeMille’s biggest films, and a gigantic hit and critical success. Also, a completely bizarre pageant of sex, violence, and bad taste under the cover of its biblical precedent. Thrill to Hedy Lamarr as a slinky, sexy, whip-wielding Delilah and Victor Mature as a musclebound Samson who kills an army — gorily — with the jawbone of an ass. DeMille fills the frame with color and expensive sets. Never less than entertaining.
