Samson moderne

French postcard for Samson moderne (dir. unknown, Pathé frères 1908). Théâtre Pathé Grolée, Lyon.

 

On the fairground an unknown young man manages to conquer the wrestling champion. When after a series of adventures he is imprisoned he breaks down the walls like a modern Samson. Returned home his wife celebrates him with wine but is jealous of his force, so like a modern Delila she cuts his hair off in his sleep. Awakened, the man has lost his hair and his strength.
