John Huston directed this epic treatment of the Old Testament, which depicts the first twenty-two chapters of Genesis, from the Creation to Abraham's sacrifice. The star-studded cast includes George C. Scott as Abraham, Ava Gardner as Sarah, and Peter O'Toole as the Angel of God, and covers such legendary events as the expulsion from the Garden of Eden, Cain's slaying of Abel, and the building of Noah's Ark.
