SAMSON 1960 (TUBI)

I hadn't seen this film since I bought the VHS at K Mart many years ago.

I enjoyed watching this after many years and the quality of the presentatuion was eye popping. It was widescreen and I am assuming remastered as the picture was beautiful.

Brad Harris stars as Samson who is arrested for no reason and thrown into a dungeon with two of his friends. We soon learn that a good queen has been overthrown by and evil one named Romilda (Mara Berni) whose actually being manipulated by an power hungry man they call Warkalla (Serge Gainsbourg).

This is a pretty standard plot for movies such as this, and while it offers very little in the originality department, it is fun to watch and moves along at a very fast pace.

It was good to see Sergio Ciani as a character called Millstone. We all know him better as Alan Steele as Hercules. He and Harris make a good combination.

The cast also includes the beautiful Luisella Boni as Janine, the woman who captures Samson's heart. If you're a fan of these types of movies like I am you'll no doubt enjoy this fast movin adventure.

Again, it's a beautiful print and the only thing I can compare it to was the old VHS from back in the 80's. One of my favorites and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!.
