Plot:-

Extravagant production of the first part of the book of Genesis. (Covers Adam and Eve, Noah and the Flood and Abraham and Isaac). An elaborate Hollywood retelling of the Bible stories narrated by the film’s director John Huston. We open with the Creation of the World and arrive at the Garden of Eden with Adam and Eve (Michael Parks and Ulla Bergryd) and continue on to Cain (Richard Harris) and the murder of Abel (Franco Nero). Next, we visit Noah (John Huston) and his ark with its spectacular flood sequence.

Then we come to the story of Nimrod, King of Babel (Stephen Boyd), the emergence of man’s vanity and the heights to which it could aspire if unchecked. Finally we cover Abraham (George C. Scott), a mystic who spoke personally with God, a leader of men, a builder of nations, a pioneer and a warrior and Sarah (Ava Gardner). At the time she conceived her first child, the event being forecast by an Angel of the Lord. Three such Heavenly Messengers (all portrayed by Peter O’Toole) appeared in the course of events which befell Abraham and Sarah.

  1. Turn back to God is my favourite site, I often spend time going through the little stories, prayers and songs, its beautiful. :oops:

  2. Awful! What a waste of talent and the script is worse, I don’t like this film it’s really one of the worst epic movies ever and it really destroyed the holy bible for what reason I have nothing to say, If this where remade now it would have worked by casting unknowns and rather than waste Hollywood actors screwing up the holy bible by nothing, It’s not really writer Chris Fry’s fault his script had been the cause if it wasn’t for been uncredited rewrite by Mario Soldati & Orson Welles (love his work on Citizen Kane) that killed the whole film this will never be the same holy bible we know.

  3. i’m sorry, may you send to me the film the bible:in the beginning 1966 with format HD quality to my email? thank you

  4. When Hollywood, which is made up largely of secular humanists, is allowed to rewrite the Holy Bible, what you end up with is Noah playing the flute like the Pied Piper of Hamlin, drawing animals into the ark.

    If you watch this stuff, watch it for entertainment, as you would Robocop or Harry Potter, not for Biblical accuracy.

  5. I do have the VHS “The Bible 1966. May I please get permission to get this VHS put on DVD? I can’t watch it on VHS any more. Please send me permission for it is a keep sake. The best ever made.

    Thank you so much,
