Producer-director Cecil B. DeMille dipped his toes back into the biblical waters once again with Samson and Delilah, another big budget pageant of Christian and pagan excesses which proved such a success that another biblical epic was inevitable (the blockbuster The Ten Commandments which came along six years later). Here, the visual spectacle isn’t quite so grand as it would be later, and the film is way overlong and talky for the few action set pieces which distinguish it. But there are stars to be seen and glorious Technicolor to provide recompense for the rather dull, long-winded story.
