Trivia

Orson Welles, who portrays a director directing a Biblical epic in this film's 'La Ricotta' story, ironically had earlier directed himself in his own scenes in an actual Biblical epic, David and Goliath. Welles, who portrays a king in the Biblical epic David and Goliath, also narrates another Biblical epic about the King of kings, King of Kings. Welles even narrates a portion of the Biblical work The New Media Bible: Book of Genesis as well. See more »

Quotes

Narrator: Little by little, I became jealous. Only now do I see how that stopped me from reasoning clearly. I ought to have understood that all this was only the consequence of the end of the world.
