YMMV / Samson and Delilah (1949)

• Complete Monster: The Saran of Gaza is the emperor of the Philistines and conqueror of Israel. He oppressed the Hebrews with harsh laws, banning Judaism and allowing Philistine soldiers to rape and brutalize with impunity. When a strongman named Samson starts fighting his rule, the Saran has the people taxed into starvation to make them give him up. Later, he has Delilah marry Samson to discover his weaknesses, meanwhile ordering a total purge of Hebrew firstborns. After Delilah manages to depower and capture Samson, the Saran has him blinded, enslaved and starved before having him tortured before a live audience into bowing before his God or dying.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: Immediately following the "jawbone of an ass" slaughter at Lehi, a wounded messenger tells the Saran and his court what happened, extolling Samson's strength in words that echo the prologue for The Adventures of Superman a few years later. The messenger is played by George Reeves.
