Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

Turgid account of Old Testament events from the Creation to Abraham's sacrifice of Isaac. Huston himself adds a touch of life as Noah, and the Tower of Babel scene is fairly well done, but overall it's a long haul which manages to suggest that places like Eden and Sodom weren't much fun at all.
