The glorious epic style of Cecil B. DeMille is exemplified in this story of the Bible's legendary strongman and the woman who seduces and betrays him. Victor Mature is the classic Samson, muscular and fearless in his barehanded battle with a lion, his single-handed assault on a thousand Philistine soldiers, his struggle with a giant, and the spectacular Old Testament climax where he pulls down the pagan temple. The enormous cast and the splendor of the production adds to the spectacle. And Delilah, the irresistible lady with the scissors, is brought to seductive life by the lovely, brilliant Hedy Lamarr. Winner of Best Costume Design and nominated for Best Cinematography at the **Academy Awards**. Nominated for Best Cinematography at the **Golden Globes**.

Summary 
'The history of officers and men of the Royal Australian Navy through the war years will, for the most part, never be known, yet they won for themselves honour in a service known for its traditions of self-sacrifice and devotion to duty. Now, in the aftermath of war, we may lose sight of many things - including our debt to the past - yet because of that heritage of faith and courage, surely we need never doubt that the day will dawn when we will be able to boast of a worthwhile and lasting peace.'
