The Bible: In the Beginning...

After the flood (in which the director and narrator, John Huston, played Noah) and intermission, the story of the Tower Of Babel, with barely recognizable Stephen Boyd as Nimrod, and large spectacle, in Dino De Laurentis’ Genesis-based epic The Bible: In The Beginning…, 1966.

After a bad episode with the Tower of Babel, director John Huston still narrating, loosely from Genesis, the first reference to a promised land and the introduction of George C. Scott as Abram (a.k.a. Abraham), and Ava Gardner as his wife Sarah, in the American-Italian The Bible: In The Beginning…, 1966.

Now past Creation, the Garden of Eden and original sin, John Huston continues directing and narrating, introducing the first promoted actor, Richard Harris as Cain, and then-unknown Italian still photographer Franco Nero as Abel, in The Bible: In The Beginning…, 1966.

No discernible conflict between Genesis (from which Christopher Fry’s screenplay and director John Huston’s narration is loosely derived) and geology in the opening of the American-Italian Dino De Laurentis production, featuring Richard Harris, George C. Scott and Ava Gardner, The Bible: In The Beginning…, 1966.

Director John Huston has narrated his way through the creation of the first man, Adam (Michael Parks), and now introduces the woman Eve (Ulla Bergryd), skipping the part about the rib, shooting at a botanical garden near rome, in Dino De Laurentis’ The Bible: In The Beginning…, 1966.
