DAVID AND GOLIATH 1960 (MILL CREEK)

Orson Wells stars in this Italian film based on the Biblical story.

Wells stars as King Saul who leads the Israelites in a war against the Philistines.

Saul is told that a new, young king will soon reign and his name will be David. But David has man challenges ahead of him, with one of the being a fight with the giant Goliath.

The movie does drag in spots, but it is interesting and fun to watch a massive actor named Aldo Pedinotti play Goliath to the hilt. He was popular as a circus giant and in music halls of the 1950's.

Pedinotti had a very brief film career and this has to be his best film role ever. He fits the part perfectly. Not too bad of a time killer.
