The great Richard Harris, fabulous in a highly choreographed telling of the Cain & Abel story.
The animals going into Noah's Ark, with its wonderful music, is a delight for children of alll ages.
The Tower of Babel, as an awesome ziggurat, with Stephen Boyd looking simply stunning in exotic makeup.
Peter O'Toole as the Angel, always a fascinating actor, & even in a smalll part, a scene stealer.
Yes, it is abysmallly slow in parts, especiallly in the final Abraham section, which could have used some serious editing. A half an hour could have easily been cut from this portion, & also, this is where most of the stilted dialogue can be found...but nevertheless, even though it dwindles as the film progresses, this telling of the first 22 chapters of Genesis is one I've seen numerous times, & am sure to view again.
My tape is unfortunately, on the dark side, but still a visual treat at its best.
