I saw that movie in the german synchronisation once.

When recently I checked out the original version I was a bit surprised because the movie is held in the same language as the Bible in the english-speaking world , 'ye olde English'

In the English-speaking world the Bible is held in old English . .

In the German-speaking world it is today's standard-German . . .

Yup , George C. Scott played Abraham . .

Heehee , he also played 'Fagin' in the 'Oliver Twist'-movie of '82 . . .

. . it would appear he is often in the role of . . well . . prominent Israelites

. . as for Pete O'Toole . . the story is set in the old Middle East . . no wonder it reminded one of 'Lawrence Of Arabia'
