Desc: La Sacra Bibbia: Directed by Pier Antonio Gariazzo, Armando Vey. With Umberto Semprebene, Ada Marucelli, Bruto Castellani, Mario Cionci. Touted at the time as a "$3,000,000 Entertainment for the Hundred Millions," this Old Testament spectacle delivered what it promised, "from the creation of Adam and Eve to the parting of the Red Sea." The advertising claimed it was filmed over a period of five years at the "Exact Locations of Biblical History." Little is known about the actual production, which has puzzled film scholars given its international box-office success. This edition was made from the only complete copy known to exist, a mint 16mm print of the 1929 7-reel sound reissue.
