Technicolor, splendour

in "Samson and Delilah"

Rating:★★ ★

Cecil B. DeMille's Paramount production of "Sam- son and Delilah,” which is now at the Lee 'and Liberty, has all the splendour one asso-

ciates with the producer's name.

This Technicolor spectacle makes an undeniable bid for screen fame with a story that has the sweep of an epic and a fine cast.

As the bewitching Delilah Henry Wilcoxon. the lender of whose charms enslaved а man the Philistine armies. where mighty, armies had failed, Miss Hedy Lamarr is beautiful in her first Technicolor film. And she proves herself a dramatic petress of fire and persuasion.

Basically, the film is a power- ful story of a man's fight to free his enslaved people, his betrayal and his ultimate retribution, There are colour pageantry and throbbing excitement which build to a breathtaking climax in "Samson and Delilah.”

DeMille has staged many spec- iacular scenes in his motion plc- tures, but few can surpass the destruction of the Philistino Temple by the blinded Samson.

Victor Mature, also, handles a particularly difficult role with imagination and finesse, keeping Samson always within the bounds of credibility, never once suc- cumbing to what would have been an excusable urge to over- stay the strong play
