Salt Lake Tribune

Bob Halliday

The film is a literal, cinematic transcript. Of all the best-sellers brought to the screen, this one most closely follows the Book.

Huston's triumph is that despite the insanity of the attempt and the grandiosity of the project, the technology doesn't dominate the material.

The misfortune of The Bible is that it does not live up to hopes. It does not employ the cinema medium to create a true 20th-century iconography. It simply repeats in moving pictures what has been done with still pictures over the centuries.

This could potentially make for scintillating viewing -- and it's certainly an extravagent... Yet Huston, starring in triple roles as Noah, the Narrator and - yes - God - succeeds in making the film as sterile and ponderous as possible.
