Featured review
I appreciated the presence of Maria Schell and Victor Mature in the roles of parents of Samson.
I was grateful to Anthony Hamilton for the effort to propose a decent Samson. And Belinda Bauer is the reasonable Delilah. No doubts, different by what you know , from early ages , about title heroes but , not ignoring be only a TV movie, being familiar with 1980 s productions, not ignoring the fashion of Biblical adaptations, to be too critic about this version is unfair. Including for honest job of Jose Ferrer and Max van Sidow, for atmosphere and for physical obvious virtues of Mr. Hamilton.
So, a kind of easy adapation, decent at whole, no doubts, charming in its way.
