Synopsis
A picture of the destruction of the world by a flood. 3317 years B.C: The Lord, observing the wickedness of the world, decides to destroy it. He instructs Noah to build an ark, in which he and his three sons, his wife and their wives take refuge. Noah is also told to take into the ark two of each of all living creatures. Noah does as he is told; The rain descends upon the earth, covering it with water, and the peoples are destroyed-- but Noah, his sons and their families are saved. "The entire picture is a marvelous rendition of one of the most dramatic stories in all history. The producer has looked carefully after costuming and surroundings, and he has displayed a marvelous breadth of Biblical knowledge to reproduce a scene of this character so faithfully and so realistically." - Moving Picture World, February 18, 1911

Plenty hoary biblical drama about Noah and his ark. After 1/4 of the film is spent watching slow moving animals go on the ark, and the same actor over and over laughing at him, then comes the storm part, so we get that, and that's a while, and then Noah arrives who knows where to drop the animals off. Very stilted acting and LOADS of padding here. Not worth your time at all. Not even 30 days and 30 nights.
