TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

John Huston was a self-professed atheist.

Dino De Laurentiis originally announced that this would be the first in a series of feature films based on the books of the Bible. The film lost Twentieth Century-Fox $1.5 million, and sequel plans were abandoned.

John Huston originally wanted Charles Chaplin to play Noah. Chaplin didn't like the idea of appearing in a picture directed by someone else, and Huston wound up playing the role himself. Huston wanted Igor Stravinsky to score the film, but it didn't happen (on his sleeve notes for the score, Huston elliptically mentions copyright issues).

Ava Gardner and George C. Scott had a brief, but stormy affair during the making of this movie. At one point, he even kicked down the door of her hotel suite in a drunken rage.

Unusually, there are no opening credits, save for the title of the film. While this is standard practice for blockbusters today, it was very rarely deployed in the 1960s.

Popular Dialogues

"Cain: Am I my brother's keeper?"

"Isaac: [as Abraham is preparing to kill him as a sacrifice] There is nothing that He may not ask of thee? Abraham: Nothing."
