Actor Antony Hamilton (Samson) was seriously ill with a virus, suffering from high fever and vomiting, while shooting the closing scenes with the weak Samson pushing down the temple pillars. While everyone on set kept complimenting him on his realistic acting, he had to explain that he was in actual fact seriously unwell and genuinely weak.
Victor Mature played the role of Manoah, Samson's father in this movie while he himself played the role of Samson in 1949's Samson and Delilah (1949).
