#OTD The Ponca City News (Oklahoma), shared:

During the filming of #Samson & #Delilah, the director, Cecil B. #DeMille, asked the film's #Nurseryman to create an #Olive #Tree to film under.

As the man attached #branches Cecil shouted,
"THAT's not an olive branch! Where did you get it?"

The man replied,
"From an olive tree."

After a pause, Cecil said,
"I don't suppose I'm in a position to say this is not an olive branch."

"No sir," said the man... and the scene went on.
