Abraham: The ways of the Lord are not our ways. And what He hath intended or how it shall be perfected is not in our power to know. Only in the trust of what is to come can we prosper. And in that trust shall we pitch our tents.


Abraham: [to Sarah] Lo, here I bring my love beside thee in the tent.

Facts about

It was John Huston's original idea to have Charles Chaplin play Noah. However, Chaplin didn't much like the idea of appearing in a picture directed by someone else, and Huston wound up playing the role himself. Similarly, Huston wanted Igor Stravinsky to score the film. For unspecified reasons, this was never done, either.
Franco Nero was dubbed by an uncredited actor in this film. It is possible, though, not confirmed, that several of the other Italian actors were dubbed as well, although the actors themselves can be seen mouthing the words.
Richard Harris and Franco Nero play brothers-turned-enemies Cain and Abel, and only a year later would play friends-turned-enemies Arthur and Lancelot in Camelot.
