      • Trivia
        Mysteriously, the actor playing Samson's comical sidekick Terrabentus is not credited in either the main title or reference sources. Vladimir Leib played the part of Terrabentus, as well as sizeable credited roles in two other Parolini epics Anno 79: La distruzione di Ercolano (1962) and The Old Testament (1963). Italian reference works and the Monthly Film Bulletin match the pseudonym "Walter Reeves" against the character Millstone (Macigno in Italian). However, easy-to-recognize "Alan Steel" (aka Sergio Ciani) was the one playing Millstone. It sounds more phonetic that "Walter Reeves" was a pseudonym lined up for Vladimir Leib who maybe decided he didn't like it.

      Samson

      The treacherous court counselor Warkalla takes possession of the throne of Sulan and of the goods of Queen Mila, replacing her with the beautiful but insignificant Romilda. Samson joins Mila and the rebels to regain the kingdom of Sulan and to hunt Romilda and Warkalla.

      There's two muscle heroes in the form of Brad Harris and Alan Steel, though Harris is more the lead, as after all he's the title character, but his Samson isn't of the biblical variety. Nor is the story. There's no Delilah but there's one evil imposter Queen- the real Queen is in prison - played by Marla Berni. Aiding her in wickedness is Serge Gainsborg who keeps this standard yet fun peplum simmering. It's a better than average peplum with a plot firing challenges for our heroes and enough action.
