David and Goliath (1960)

David e Golia

4.7

Plot: In Jerusalem, the wicked King Saul is visited by the Prophet Samuel after losing the Arch of the Alliance in a war against Asrod, King of the Philistines. Samuel advises that God is not happy with him and the new king of Jerusalem would come from Bethlehem. Meanwhile the shepherd David loses his sweetheart and soon he is summoned by Samuel to go to Jerusalem as the chosen by God. He becomes King Saul's adviser, but the ambitious Captain Abner plots a scheme to get rid of David, and convinces King Saul to send him as an emissary to meet King Asrod. David is challenged by Asrod to fight against the giant Goliath and the impossible happens: David defeats Goliath.

Alternative Plot: Samuel (Edward Hilton) prophesies the end of the reign of the ruthless and power-hungry King Saul of Israel (Orson Welles) and anoints shepherd's son David (Ivo Payer) the chosen successor. Wishing to destroy the kindhearted and wise young man, malevolent Abner (Massimo Serato) sends David to make peace with Israel's enemy, the Philistines. Philistine leader King Asrod (Furio Meniconi) says his people will lay down their arms if David can slay the powerful fighter Goliath (Kronos).
