Victor Mature stars as Samson, a proud and strong slave who gallantly fights for the love of a beautiful Philistine (Angela Lansbury). In a spectacular sequence, the rippling Samson fights a lion with his bare hands in order to gain the woman's hand in marriage as her sister, Delilah (Heddy Lamar), jealously looks on. On the evening of their wedding feast a battle erupts between Samson and jealous Philistines, tragically killing the young bride. Shattered, Samson declares vengeance on the Philistines as Delilah vows to avenge her sister's death. Samson becomes a legendary fighter of superhuman strength, unbeatable by even the greatest Philistine warriors. Only one thing can stop him--the love of a beautiful woman.

Hedy Lamarr's debut in a color film was the highlight of her Hollywood career. As the biblical Delilah, she foreshadowed for many years everything important for all the other beauties of the biblical epics that became so typical of the 1950s. The question is if Hedy had gotten to color film sooner, whether it would have had any effect on the current view of her legend, which seems to have fallen, quite unfairly, halfway between Elektra and Metro. In the end, it was during the filming of Samson and Delilah that Cecil was visited by Norma Desmond herself... if only she could have passed her magic on.
