Location:
Paramount Theatre (1966) (174 min.) (Color) (DTS Digital Stereo) (70mm)
Michael Parks, John Huston, Richard Harris, George C. Scott, Ava Gardner, Peter O'Toole. Directed by John Huston. Well, OK, it's only the first 22 chapters of Genesis! But here's Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, Noah and the Flood, etc. All this, and Peter O'Toole cast against type as an angel! The last of Hollywood's mega-budget Biblical spectacles that kicked off, more or less, with "The Ten Commandments" a decade earlier. See it for the all-star cast and the beautifully restored 70mm print, but don't take it as the gospel. (ahem...)
