With his rugged features and earthy sex appeal, Victor Mature
ushered in a new breed of postwar Hollywood actor, far removed from
the debonair matinee idols of the 1930s. Following success as an
upbeat leading man in the early 1940s Fox musicals, opposite the
likes of Betty Grable and Rita Hayworth, he went on deliver two of
his most powerful performances in My Darling Clementine (1946) and
Kiss of Death (1947). But it was in the biblical epics such as
Samson and Delilah (1949), The Robe (1953) and Demetrius and the
Gladiators (1954) that his heartfelt acting and statuesque, larger
than life screen presence finally secured his place as a Hollywood
icon.
