Poetic Film Review: Samson and Delilah (1949)

In ancient lands of power and of might,
Where Samson's strength did shine so bright,
A tale of love and lust unfolds,
Where Delilah's beauty takes its hold.

DeMille's epic, grand and bold,
In Technicolor, the story's told,
With scenes of violence, passion, and deceit,
A spectacle that cannot be beat.

Victor Mature as Samson, strong and true,
Hedy Lamarr's Delilah, a villain through and through,
A clash of wills, of faith and sin,
In a world where battles rage within.

As history's cruel tricks unfold,
In films of old, their stories told,
Humanity's flaws, its hopes and fears,
Echo through the passing years.

Samson and Delilah, a classic tale,
Of love and loss, of strength and frail,
In Hollywood's golden age it shines,
A film that endures through changing times.
