Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: The Ark hardly seemed large enough to hold Noah and his family, let alone 2 of every animal.

Excellent screenplay, music, singing and acting. The subject matter was difficult, but the screenwriter and actors pulled it off. An excellent film, minus the stereotypes, which were a necessary evil in the 1930s. A film well worth the risk by a major studio.
