A legendary biblical strongman kills a lion with his bare hands, fights off an army with the jawbone of an ass, falls into the clutches of a Philistine wench, gets a haircut, loses his eyesight, powers a gristmill and finally brings down the house. If the Lord God Jehovah hadn't made all that stuff happen, Cecil B. DeMille would have. And did.
