Trivia:
Ranked ninth best movie in 1936 in the Film Daily annual poll of critics. The film was banned in many countries. moreGoofs:
Factual errors: In the scene where Noah is loading animals onto the ark, four sheep are shown entering instead of the prescribed two of every animal. However, Genesis 7:2 of the Bible says that Noah was to board two of every "unclean" animal and seven of every "clean" animal. Sheep are considered "clean". moreFAQ

I've never seen a movie like this. It's probably one of the most interesting Biblical movies I've ever seen. I'm black and I didn't think it was too offensive, considering the time period that it came from. In fact, my whole family liked it. This is one movie you really have to give a chance before you watch it. Unfortunatelly, movies like this and Disney's "Song of The South" are thrown among the wayside so they won't "corrupt" our "politically correct" society.
