When Paramount signed Hedy to do "Samson & Delilah", it was with stipulation that she had to do 2 more films for them. This one and the one with Bob Hope in "My Favorite Spy". Unfortunately, it didn't do much for her career. MGM, the biggest Studio, after 7 or 8 years of having Hedy under contract, never had her filmed in a Technicolor movie. You would have thought that their "most beautiful woman in the movies' actress would have florished her in Technicolor. She did make a few movies for them that beckoned for Technicolor..."BoomTown" and "White Cargo" to name the obvious. So Paramount immediately gave her two, and mind you, she was not at her prime at this time, she was 35 yrs old , though she looked sensational as Delilah, and even in this mild western. Her role here was more for decorative and a small ambiguous role. Milland, wasn't bad, but, Randolph Scott would have been a better choice.I suspect had they left the tune in the movie, especially during the square dance scene, it might have made it a bit more enjoyable. Why they omitted it, is puzzling.
