Synopsis

In this lavish (by TV standards) remake of Cecil B. De Mille's 1949 Biblical epic, the bold and rebellious Danite from one of the tribes of Israel that fled Egypt in the Great Exodus and the Philistine courtesan who seduces and then betrays him, newcomer Antony Hamilton is Samson and Australian actress/model Belinda Bauer is Delilah. Interesting casting, aside from the other international names, was that of Victor Mature, who played Samson in the De Mille version, coming out of semi-retirement to make his TV acting debut in the role of Samson's father. Filmed entirely on location in Mexico. Hairstylist Jan Van Uchelen received an Emmy Award nomination.
