Cecil B. DeMille's "SAMSON AND DELILAH" Needs a Paramount Picture Release on DVD, July 17, 2005
This review is from: A Reason to Dance (Audio CD)
This glorious biblical epic by director Cecil B. DeMille with an enormous cast and the splendid production that adds to the spectacle of the story «JUDGES: 13-16» was released in 1949. It won Academy Awards for Best Art Direction Color, and Best Costume Design that year. Unfortunatelly, "This Studio" that pioneered Biblical Spectacles is still not yet releasing a fully restored DVD of this movie, presented in a format preserving the aspect ratio of its original theatrical exhibition that would show in all its grandeur this magnificent action adventure, so dear to all of us.
Hey Viacom/Paramount why do we have to buy bad import copies of this film on the internet, while Time/Warner finds it profitable to re-release "BEN-HUR."
Wake up guys we need this Biblical Classic fully restored and on the shops on DVD before 2006. Lets all films lovers vote here. So we let this studio due what is profitable to them and a thrill to us and history.

Samson and Delilah (Cecil B. DeMille), September 22, 2005
This review is from: A Reason to Dance (Audio CD)
Very poor color print of this film. Does not show off the original Technicolor photography well at all. Inferior print. Both sound and picture.

Not What I Expected, April 22, 2006
This review is from: A Reason to Dance (Audio CD)
I was very disappointed when I opened up my newly received DVD of Samson and Delilah thinking that it would be in the rich beautiful color that the original movie was in. Boy was I disappointed. The color was very faint plus I was surprised to see that it has Chinese subtitles. If I knew that it was made in China I would have never purchased the movie. The quality if very poor and fuzzy. I will never order another movie from this distributor again. I feel this was a waste of my money. I will now have to find another distributor who has a copy of this movie that I can buy that is not a Chinese copy, that is an American made copy and of better quality. Buyers beware of this distributor. I believe all their movies are Chinese quality.
