...smooth stones through Duck Hollow. Eb ? his real name is Elbert, but one doesn't call a mountain man that ? is 56, and he went blind seven years ago. (Degenerative blindness afflicts many Appalachian dwellers as a result of in breeding.) Lank and long-striding in his pale blue bib overalls, his sightless eyes gleaming under a faded brown fedora, Eb stalks his 52 hillside acres mending fences with the assurance of a man born to the slope. His four-room tar-papered house perches on a 45-degree cant with the same defiant certitude. With his wife...

Then he christened the pale gold roses "Peace," and distributed samples to the 49 delegates to the founding session of the United Nations...
...could film the destruction of a Philistine temple better than anybody else, he cast about for a story that would lead up to so magnificent a climax. Sampson and Delilah, the result of his search, has found its way back to Boston and, although the first 107 minutes pale beside the last ten, it's well worth seeing...
