Who directed the 1928 film Noah's Ark, a Warner Bros. biblical epic?

Michael Curtiz directed the 1928 film Noah’s Ark, a Warner Bros. biblical epic.

The film was produced during Hollywood’s silent-film era and combines a modern romantic storyline with a large-scale dramatization of the biblical Flood. It starred Dolores Costello and George O’Brien and was released by Warner Bros.

Michael Curtiz later became one of Hollywood’s best-known directors. His credits include Casablanca, released in 1942, and other major Warner Bros. productions. Noah’s Ark belongs to the earlier part of his career and is notable for its ambitious spectacle and transitional sound-era history.

This film should not be confused with Darren Aronofsky’s 2014 film Noah, which was directed by Aronofsky. The two productions share a biblical subject but are separated by 86 years and have different directors, casts, and cinematic styles.
