Kino Lorber have dated and detailed their upcoming Blu-ray release of Carlo Campogalliani's Son of Samson (1960), starring Mark Forest, Chelo Alonso, Vira Silenti, and Angelo Zanolli. The release will be available for purchase on May 10.
Description: When Steve Reeves caused a sensation in Hercules, Italian producers were quick to search for other American actors to fill the beefcake quota in sword-and-sandal films. One of the first of these was Mark Forest, a Brooklyn-born bodybuilder known as "The Adonis with the Perfect Physique," who went on to make a dozen mythical muscleman movies. In one of the best, Son of Samson, he shows up in the ancient Egyptian city of Tanis where the evil Queen Smedes (Folies Bergere dancer Chelo Alonso) is making it tough for the common folk. A spectacular tale of strength and seduction, presented in lustrous color and scope.
