positive · AI labelView post →Another Schafer take of Hedy for Cecil B. DeMille’s Technicolor epic Samson and Delilah (1949), a massive critical and commercial success that became the highest grossing movie of 1950.
neutral · AI labelView post →The Spirit from March 5, 1950. Art by Will Eisner & letters by Ben Oda. Apparently, Paramount threatened to sue Eisner over this parody of the 1949 film Samson and Delilah but never did.

neutral · AI labelView post →Cecil B. DeMille had worked with Swanson several times before and, when we see him in the film, he’s on the actual set for Samson and Delilah, which he was shooting at the time. He charged $10k for his cameo and then a further $10k when Wilder wanted to do a close up. 40/48

neutral · AI labelView post →btw the 1949 Samson and Delilah movie is predictably saggy here and there but the scene of pulling down the temple is terrific: George Sanders silently mouthing “Delilah” as he raises a glass to toast the falling pillar that’s about to turn him into marinara sauce. a 5-star scene in a 3-star film

neutral · AI labelView post →This show was so formative for me. I got the season sets when I was in middle school 20 years ago, so I binged the entire series back then. It basically set me down the path as a future film lover with all their references to golden age. What other show would parody Samson and Delilah like that?

When Norma Desmond (Gloria Swanson) visits DeMille at Paramount, they used his real shoot from SAMSON AND DELILAH in this movie- with Julia seen again as Hisham, this time greeting her old friend Norma! #classicmovies #filmhistory #juliafaye

neutral · AI labelView post →I appreciated the old movie footage of Samson and Delilah, though I was half expecting the climax from Saint-Saëns' opera, which really slaps. (OTOH, it has all the Orientalizing Othering of the Philistines into some sort of sexy cult. For all that it's an over the top hoot, it's also slanderous.)

neutral · AI labelView post →Oddly enough it was the second movie featuring dot painting as part of the story I've watched this year. The first was Warwick Thornton's Samson and Delilah, a terrific film. They are both quiet, slow and methodical films that demand your attention (even as one features a ska band).
neutral · AI labelView post →One of the earliest actors I remember liking as a kid. Cried buckets at the end of Samson and Delilah. Love him now in Clementine, After The Fox, Long Haul and many others. Sometimes you just want a movie star to really look like a movie star.

neutral · AI labelView post →Cecile DeMille produced and directed Samson and Delilah (1959) All of his money from the film went to erecting 10,000 Ten Commandments in stone everywhere…schools, courthouses, etc Later the Supreme Court’s decision to separate Church and State pulled them down

neutral · AI labelView post →“Samson and Delilah” (1984) has a number of period film all-stars in small roles (Jose Ferrer, Max Von Sydow, Victor Mature). And also Daniel Stern in a major supporting role as a garrison commander and friend of Samson. D-tier Bible movies are casting fun.
neutral · AI labelView post →When the think about it, the film Tangled is a kind of reverse Samson and Delilah. (Not really.)
neutral · AI labelView post →This movie sort of has a cameo in Sunset Boulevard (1950) as well. When the character of Norma Jennings visits DeMille on the Paramount Pictures soundstages, the scene was shot on an actual set for Samson and Delilah.
neutral · AI labelView post →You may think Castaway is bad or male gazey blah blah, but it’s a fairly solid film, Roeg and pompous criticism tossed aside. There’s only two films I don’t think are that great. Sweet Bird of Youth and Samson and Delilah. Everything else is brilliant. Heart of Darkenss in particular is fantastic.
negative · AI labelView post →I like to notice movie marquees within a movie. In War of the Worlds (1953) (free on Plutotv app), you can see a portion of the marquee that suggests that Samson and Delilah is playing at a fictional theater. Both movies are Paramount releases.

When asked afterwards what he thought of the film he told Mayer it would be a flop. Asked why, he responded, “Because Victor Mature has much bigger knockers than Hedy Lamarr.”
