In the film Noah’s Ark (1928), which director made the biblical flood epic?

Michael Curtiz directed the biblical flood epic Noah’s Ark (1928).

Noah’s Ark is an American Warner Bros. production that combines a modern wartime romance with a dramatization of the biblical Flood. Michael Curtiz directed the film, which starred Dolores Costello and George O’Brien. It was made during the transition from silent cinema to sound and is remembered for its large-scale production and flood sequence.

The film is not a literal screen transcription of every detail in Genesis. Its framing story and invented dramatic material reflect the conventions of late-1920s historical spectacle. Curtiz later became famous for directing Casablanca (1942), but Noah’s Ark belongs to an earlier phase of his career. The film’s title can also be confused with later television productions and other films using the same biblical subject.
