King Saul has been having a streak of bad luck since the Philistine captivity of the Ark and fears the newcomer but doesn't know who the new king will be. The unsuspecting shepherd David visits Jerusalem where he is identified as the king. Abner decides to test his wisdom by asking how the Israelites can get around the Philistines edict they have imposed that the only ones who may lawfully bear arms in defeated Israel are the officers of Saul's court and his palace guard. David replies that the Philistines have set no limit on the number of officers or palace guards. Meanwhile, King Asrod of the Philistines plots another attack on the riches of Israel, this time accompanied by the fearsome giant Goliath. Cast[edit] Orson Welles as King Saul Ivica Pajer as David Hilton Edwards as Prophet Samuel Massimo Serato as Abner Eleonora Rossi Drago as Merab Giulia Rubini as Michael Pierre Cressoy as Jonathan Furio Meniconi as Asrod, King of the Philistines Aldo Pedinotti credited as "Kronos" as Goliath[1] Dante Maggio as Cret Luigi Tosi as Benjamin Di Gaba Umberto Fiz as Lazar Ugo Sasso as Huro Production[edit] A part of the production took place in Jerusalem, another in Yugoslavia.[2]Very loosely based on its Biblical source, this standard Italian sword-and-sandal action film stars Orson Welles as an intense, inward-turning King Saul, deteriorating at the same time that David is rising in renown. The shepherd David (Ivo Payer) is sent to the Israelite forces with supplies for his older brothers when he first discovers who Goliath is -- the giant over nine feet tall that challenges any single warrior to meet him one-on-one in battle. If someone takes up his challenge, it would decide whether the Israelites or Philistines are victorious in their current stand-off. David's one-shot victory turns the tide and hastens Saul's decline. The monarch's lithesome daughters Merab and Michal are played by Eleonora Rossi-Drago and Giulia Rubini, his son Jonathan is portrayed by Pierre Cressoy, and Goliath by Kronos, a muscular "giant" of European circus and music hall circuits. The Old Testament story of David and Goliath comes to life in a classic adaptation from acclaimed director Orson Welles now available from Bridgestone Multimedia Group. With the sacred Ark of the Covenant in the hands of the enemy Philistines, Samuel prophesies the end of the reign of the ruthless King Saul (Welles) and anoints David, a lowly shepherd, to go to Jerusalem as the chosen successor. However, Saul’s top advisor Abner plots a scheme to get rid of David. Wishing to destroy the young man, Abner convinces Saul to send David to make peace with the Philistines’ King Asrod. Armed with only a slingshot, a few stones, and an unwavering faith in the one true God, David accepts King Asrod’s challenge to fight the powerful giant Goliath with the future of Israel hanging in the balance. “The spirit of the story of David is present in this film for sure,” wrote Edwin L. Carpenter in his review for The Dove Foundation. “We think audiences will be delighted with this wonderful film about the shepherd boy who became God’s chosen king. Little David stands tall in this movie!” Orson Welles is perhaps best known as co-author, producer, director, and lead actor in Citizen Kane, which is consistently regarded as one of the greatest films of all time. Before working in Hollywood, Welles also had a lauded career in theater and radio. In addition to Welles, David and Goliath stars Edward Hilton as Samuel, Ivo Payer as David, and Massimo Searato as Abner.King Saul of Israel, once fair and just but now mad with power, is denounced by the prophet Samuel, who predicts that a young monarch of extraordinary intelligence and goodness will succeed to the throne. Guided by the Lord, Samuel chooses David, the youngest son of a Bethlehem shepherd, and has him brought to the court of Saul. When the youth's goodness and wisdom begin to attract a following--particularly Saul's son and daughter, Jonathan and Michal--the evil prime minister, Abner, advises the king to send David to arrange a truce with the Philistines, with whom Israel has long been warring. David confronts King Asrod of the Philistines, who, impressed by the boldness of the youth, agrees to a truce if David can slay Goliath, the powerful Philistine giant. Armed only with a sling, David deftly evades Goliath's javelins, fells him with a stone, and then kills him with his own sword. David returns in triumph to Israel. Abner attempts to strike him down, but Saul kills his prime minister and then, mindful of Samuel's prophesy, offers David the hand of Michal.    Movie Review: David and Goliath David and Goliath (David e Golia)  Starring: Orson Welles, Ivica Pajer, Hilton Edwards, Massimo Serato, Eleonora Rossi Drago, Giulia Rubini, Pierre Cressoy, Furio Meniconi, Aldo "Kronos" Pedinotti, Dante Maggio, Luigi Tosi, Umberto Fiz, Ugo Sasso  Director:  Ferdinando Baldi, Richard Pottier, Orson Welles  Beaver-Champion Attractions Inc., Ansa, Dubrava Film, Italy, Yugoslavia, Israel, 1960.  This movie is published as a part of Warriors 50 movie pack box published by Mill Creek Entertainment.  Prophet Samuel (Hilton Edwards) has anointed Saul (Orson Welles) as the King of Israelites. However Saul is not a man of God. The Philistines beat Israelites again in the battle and take the Ark of the Covenant. Prophet Samuel King Saul Samuel arrives to Saul's palace after long absence. He finds out that Saul has sons Jonathan (Pierre Cressoy), Ishvi and Ish-bosheth and daughters Merab (Eleonora Rossi Drago) and Michal (Giulia Rubini). Saul's counsellor is Abner (Massimo Serato) is the lover of Merab. Abner is ambitious and scheming person. Saul had to gave Ark of Covenant to Philistines to secure peace. The Lord has said to Samuel that Saul has broken His commandments and strayed from the path. Lord has departed Saul and a new king will soon reign Israel. (As a side note: I'm not expert in ancient Israel art, but the winged lion statues with bearded man's head in Saul's palace look oddly Babylonian). Saul's palace is decorated Babylonian style Merab Young shepherd David (Ivica Pajer) is practising with sling. He is has a girl friend Eglah (Simonetta Simeoni). Eglah gives him a as a gift new sling. Eglah fears that he and David will be separated. Lightning strikes Eglah dead and David questions the God's will. David's father Jesse explains that David's mortal love is now transformed to spiritual love.  David practising with sling David and Eglah Jesse consoles David King Asrod (Furio Meniconi) is planning to conquer Israel. He wants to kill King Saul. Asrod's captain introduces new weapons to Asrod. Human weapon Goliath (Aldo Pedinotti) is introduced to Asrod by a cut-purse Cret (Dante Maggio). Goliath is indeed an imposing giant. Asrod tests him by asking him to lift Sampson's stone. King Asrod Goliath Goliath's sneaky friend Cret Samuel goes to find a new king. He anoints David as the prince. David leaves in secrecy but says farewell to his little sister Sarah (Ileana Danelli). He travels to Jerusalem, which is revealed to be a nest of sin. There he buys and sets free two slaves. He also gives water to two men who are condemned to death for opposing Abner. For some reason he does not help a woman being abused by a man. David preaches to the people to change their evil ways and accuses Saul for corruption. David and little sister Sarah Goliath lifting Sampson's stone David goes to Saul's palace Saul wishes to speak with David. Merab does not accept that an shepherd goes around judging the rulers. Michal suggests that counsellor Benjamin di Gaba (Luigi Tosi) asks questions from David to see if he is a wise man. Philistines have banned Israelites from bearing arms, so Benjamin asks David how to solve the limitations. David has a way around the limitation: only palace guards and officer may bear arms, but there is no limit to how many guards there is allowed to be. David may stay in the palace if he sings and plays harp for Saul. He shows a doubtful Jonathan how powerful weapon a sling can be. Abner and Benjamin try to buy the Ark back from the Philistines. Scheming Abner wants to get rid of Benjamin. He sends Lazar (Umberto Fiz) to to make a deal with Asrod. Goliath is sent to assassinate Benjamin. David and Jonathan Benjamin di Gaba and Abner Lazar David and Michal fall in love. The war begins and Saul and Abner send David as an emissary. David says that it is God's law that the Philistines must stay away from Israel. Asrod responses that his god is gold and law is Goliath. Asrod demands that David must fight and defeat Goliath, so he will not destroy Israel. Goliath throws some spears at David. The David shows the advantages of projectile weapons. David then kills the giant with his own sword. After a battle the Philistine army is destroyed. Jonathan kills King Asrod. Michal David returns as a celebrated hero. Abner plans to kill David, Saul approves the plan. However Saul changes his mind (very abruptly!) and shoots Abner with an arrow. He then declares the David the new king and gives Michal as David's wife.  Michal becomes David's wife This is a very free adaptation of the biblical story, the story goes on very slowly. Samuel's preaching is heavy, even Saul hides behind pillars. Seriously, when Samuel speaks he steals the scene even from Orson. Goliath manages to be a menaging guy just by standing there. The end battle is okay. At times there is some hammy scriptwriting with abrupt twists. The sets seem to be recycled from some film set in Babylon.     ebay3996
