"The Prince of Egypt" tells the story better. And as a biblical epic, I prefer "Samson and Delilah." Hedy was much too old for the role, but Victor Mature was surprisingly touching in his blindness.

I'm waiting for S&D on DVD. The Prince of Egypt may have been more accurate to the text but TTC is a one-of-a-kind movie that continues to be shown every year on network TV and draw big ratings. And this in a time when free tv is so predicated on youth culture.

P.S. It lost the Best Picture Oscar to 'Around the World in 80 days' a geniune piece of schlock. Probably because Demille had won a few years earlier for 'The Greatest Show on Earth'
