What readers are saying

Readers find the play to be one of Clifford Odets' weaker works, noting its adaptation for Hollywood as a point of interest. Despite some recognition, it fails to impress critics overall.

Considered one of Odets' weaker works.

Synopsis

THE STORY: As described by Atkinson is: the story of mankind living out its destiny under the benevolent eye of God.

There were giants on the earth in those days of the Deluge.

In spirit Noah was the greatest.

It is Mr. Odets' mood not to put him

Press Reviews

"Mr. Odets' play is a beautiful one. His finest, in fact.“ —The New York Times. ”…folk poem…a retelling…of the famous Biblical journey to Ararat…a genuine folk gaiety, as warm as it is impudent, takes over the stage.“ —New York Herald-Tribune. ”There are hundreds of laughs."

— New York Journal-American
