Paper. Original Still. Original linen backed 8" x 10" candid production still of Director Michael Curtiz and Producer/Screenwriter Darryl F. Zanuck on the set of "Noah's Ark." The film was a big budget silent film epic about mixing the bibical story with a modern day romance set during the days following World War I. The large cast featured Dolores Costello and George O'Brien and featured a young unknown Myrna Loy as a slave girl. Both Curtiz and Zanuck had long and very sucessful Hollywood careers that spanned the silent years through the 50's. A rare candid of two Hollywood titans. Fine. Book.

Vintage borderless reference photograph taken on the set of the 1928 film, showing thousands of extras depicting the presentation and worship of the golden idols in Egypt. With a printed mimeo snipe on the verso. The biblical story of Noah and the flood, interspersed with scenes from 1914 France and America, on the eve of World War I. Representative of Hollywood's transition from silent to sound film, known as a "part-talkie," with a synchronized soundtrack and sound effects, and occasional talking sequences. Most notable for its climactic, large-scale flood scene, which was created using 600,000 gallons of water and thousands of untrained (and mostly unprepared) actors. The scene resulted in the deaths by drowning of three extras, and most were badly injured, requiring 35 ambulances to treat the wounded in the aftermath. Set in Egypt and New York. 9.5 x 7.5 inches. Very Good plus, lightly and evenly toned overall.
