SWORDS AND SAND(ALS)



SAMSON AND DELILAH (1996 TV)

Official Five Mile River Films site

The story of the Biblical couple Samson (Eric Thal) and Delilah (Elizabeth Hurley). Samson is a simple shepherd with Herculean strength fighting against the Philistines and General Tariq (Dennis Hopper). Delilah is a Philistine beauty torn between her love for the shepherd and loyalty to her people.

Ladies, hold your breaths for THREE STARS:

* Eric Thal (b. 1965) as Samson

* Jonathan Rhys Meyers (b. 1977, "Alexander", "The Tudors") as young Samson

* The tall Italian actor Alessandro Gassman (b. 1965) in the role of Amrok


To get in the mood: Marian Anderson presents "Softly Awakes my Heart" from Saint-Saëns's grand opera Samson et Dalila:
