What happens
Samson (Italian: Sansone) is a 1961 Italian-French co-produced peplum film shot in Yugoslavia. It was co-written and directed by Gianfranco Parolini in his first film with Brad Harris who plays the title role. It is the film which introduced the character of Samson, cleared of his Biblical traits, into the sword-and-sandal cinema. Following the success of Samson, the character was later featured in a series of four films released between 1963 and 1965. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
