The book and its photos tell more about the 1950s than they do biblical times. Anyway, the movie was filmed in the San Fernando Valley and near my house in La Quinta, California, only a couple of pictures in the book of that (La Quinta was supposed to be Arabia), there are still stairs carved into a small rock hill here that were supposedly done for the film. No big names I recognize in the cast, beyond Howard Keel.
