Watch Samson and Delilah Movie Online.
Movie Title: Samson and Delilah Samson and Delilah is available for streaming or downloading. |
This film includes a lot of embelishment as well as fictional characters to contain out the record of Samson, taken from Judges Ch. 13 through 16, but the essence of the legend is intact. A man who loved the God of his fathers, but also the women of his enemies, the Philistines, and finds his exact strength only after he has lost everything.
Samson is portrayed as man who never cries, not even as a baby at his bris (circumcision), or his father’s death, but the feelings of lust and revenge weave continually through his legend, and there are many brutal scenes, making this film not recommended for children.

As Samson’s mother Mara, Diana Rigg is superb; she is a “type,” like Sarah/Isaac, Rachel/Jacob, Hannah/Samuel, and Elisabeth/John the Baptist, all barren women who miraculously give birth to a son that becomes a leader/savior of his people.
Eric Thal is effective as Samson, very substantial and brawny, and he looks tall on horseback. He also carries off the extinguish parts too, which could easily have become cartoonish.
Michael Gambon is terrific as the wily customary King Hamun of the Philistines, and in the most bizarre casting, Dennis Hopper as a laid wait on general. Elizabeth Hurley’s Delilah is a wintry, calculating vixen, and aesthetic enough to beget the most of Samson’s weakness. Max Von Sydow does the narration throughout the film.

The Philistine interiors are very imaginitive, with their grotesque gods and massive columns, and the devastation of them well filmed. The fight with the lion is cleverly done also, with lots of grunts and roars from man and beast.
Filmed on site in Quarzazate, Morocco, it has a capable net by Marco Frisina, the honorable cinematography of Raffaele Mertes, and well paced direction by Nicolas Roeg.
“David,” “Solomon,” “Jeremiah,” and “Abraham”, are my favorites of these above average made for TV Bible stories, and this film, though not one of the best, is highly animated with some edifying acting. Total running time: 182 minutes.
This Italian production is not your usual Bible-epic. With striking situation fabricate, dazzling art direction and oftentimes alarming attention to period detail, this is fine realistic stuff. And ravishing brutal. A lot of this can be attributed to British art-house director Nicolas Roeg, who has made “Samson and Delilah” perhaps his most ambitious film to date. At 180 minutes there is nary a dreary moment. Roeg afficianados will savor the mature Roeg flourishes: unpleasant edits, liberal exhaust of the zoom lens, intentional placement of humor and a general atmosphere of mysticism and otherworldliness. The performances are all around solid. Dennis Hopper turns in a clever and decidedly Hopper-esque performance as a reluctant Philistine general. Eric Thall, as Samson, comes across as vulnerable and humane yet entirely believable when coerced to flights of rage. His long hair doesn’t sight spurious, chalking up another high ticket for this film’s realism. And Elizabeth Hurley as Delilah? Well, what more needs to be said? She really delivers with her greedy seduction of Samson and subsequent guilt. Not to mention, that in her Delilah garb, she is absolutely elegant. All in all a surprising and animated movie for Nicolas Roeg and all alive to. Be positive to withhold rolling for the credits as not to miss the Ennio Morricone-scored slay titles. A short and haunting portion that is very appropriate.
