Hilarious


This is surely a companion piece to De Mille's "Samson & Delilah" which has been described as 'absurd biblical hokum'. This is just as absurd but interesting to watch as it looks so unbelieveably Hollywood with it's oversaturated color and Max Factor makeup. I felt a bit sorry for the actors having to cope with that stilted and unreal dialogue. At least Rhonda Fleming was not a redhead Cleopatra. The golden girl dance was the highlight of the whole thing and would have done credit to Busby Berkeley.

Indeed. It's kind of a poor man's 'CLEOPATRA' (1963). Clearly on a budget.
