Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: If you'll settle for gold-plated pageants, for muscular episodes and for graphic inducements to wolf-whistling, then "Samson and Delilah" is for you.
Fresh: Cecil B. DeMille has again dipped into the Bible for his material, made appropriately dramatic revisions in the original, and turned up with a DeMille-size smash.
Fresh: Wonderfully chintzy and hokey Bible epic once described as the only film in which the hero had bigger tits than the heroine.
Rotten: Most entertainment is gained from watching Mature going through the painful process of emoting, which is rather like watching an overlarge ham hock attempt to break out into a broad grin.
