    Quote from ejgreen77

    Well, it seems the folks at the Warner Archive have recently released another movie with a JW bit role, as Noah's Ark (1928) is now available on DVD. They previously had released College Coach (1933) and Central Airport (1933) as well.




    I have recently received and watched the Warner archive version of Noah's ark.

    IMHO it is no better than the copy I already had on DVD recorded from TV (MOMA restored version).

    Warner version is the MOMA restored version on DVD-R or DVD+R (always get these mixed up sorry) No extras etc.

    BUT at least there is an official DVD of this film out there so some progress.

    From "Who the hell's in it" Peter Bogdanovich, Faber and Faber ISBN 978-0571224302, page 284


    "As a matter of fact, when they were making Noah’s Ark they called our school and wanted kids over six foot to come out for $15 a day and swim while they broke the temple down on top of us. Another fella and I were standing together and Andy came up beside me and he says, “Hey, give me a hand, will you?” And he put a hand on my shoulder and a hand on this other guy’s shoulder, and he’s that big around, he’s the first one they picked, you know."


    So at least we know where to look at this film and try to spot JW.




    It would be helpful to see a picture of Andy Devine from this time as well if anyone could post one please.
