In the 1928 film Noah's Ark, which studio produced the biblical epic?

The story behind the answer

Warner Bros. produced the 1928 biblical epic film Noah’s Ark.

Noah’s Ark was directed by Michael Curtiz and released by Warner Bros. during the late silent-film era. The production combines a biblical prologue about Noah and the Flood with a modern World War I storyline, linking the two settings through themes of catastrophe, sacrifice, and survival.

The film is associated with major spectacle and special-effects work for its period. Its Flood sequence became one of the best-known large-scale set pieces of early Hollywood, although the production and exhibition history also include serious safety concerns. The film originally appeared as a synchronized-sound production with musical and effects elements, even though much of its dialogue presentation remained rooted in silent cinema.

The title can cause confusion with later films using the same biblical subject, including Noah’s Ark productions and television adaptations from other decades. The 1928 film’s studio, director, cast, and mixed biblical-modern structure identify it specifically.
