In the 1928 silent film Noah's Ark, which director made the film?

Michael Curtiz directed the 1928 silent film Noah’s Ark.

Noah’s Ark is an American epic film produced and distributed by Warner Bros. It combines the biblical flood story with a modern World War I-era romance, using the ancient narrative as a dramatic frame. Michael Curtiz directed the production before becoming especially famous for later Warner Bros. films, including Casablanca in 1942.

The film was a major early sound-era transition project. Although conceived as a silent picture, it was released with synchronized music and sound effects, and some versions included talking sequences. Its large-scale flood set and production spectacle attracted attention, but the filming also involved serious safety concerns and injuries during the water sequence.

The film should not be confused with Cecil B. DeMille’s biblical epics, which include The Ten Commandments and Samson and Delilah. Nor is it a direct screen transcription of every detail in Genesis. Its narrative blends biblical material with invented characters and a contemporary wartime plot, making it a historical Hollywood interpretation of the Ark story.
