        Samson lived about 1100 BCE, Ulysses about 1200 BCE, and Hercules about 1250 BCE.
      • Quotes

        Saran of Gaza: No one knows who Samson is. No one has ever seen him. He's been away. I don't know where. But we've heard of his fearful deeds. And we are certain that he exists.

        Delilah, Philistine Queen: My lord, Delilah exists too. I'll know how to receive Samson and how to tame him.

      I saw this first-run in 1963 at the Shades Mountain Drive-in in Birmingham, Alabama...
      And just caught it again on television this morning, 1 May 2018. Fifty-five years later, it's still classic high camp. Ah, memories.... One detail that escaped me the first time is that the Philistines are all wearing World War II German helmets. I guess there were a few of them available in Italy in 1963.
