Hollywood and the Bible is an illustrated history of the biblical boom in films which began in 1949 with Cecil B. DeMIlle's Samson and Delilah and ended with John Huston's The Bible...In the Beginning in 1966. In between those years Hollywood produced numerous cinematic versions of stories taken from the Bible many of which are still considered among the most spectacular movies ever made.
