This is the first feature-length documentary on legendary director Raoul Walsh. In this ‘memoir,’ Walsh ‘recounts’ his career from the silent film era to the tumultuous 1960s. The documentary makes stunning use of rare, personal and production photos and footage, revealing Walsh’s extraordinary, adventurous life on and off the set. From his apprenticeship with D.W. Griffith to his discovery of John Wayne and Rock Hudson, from the innovative ‘The Thief of Bagdad’ (1924) to the widescreen ‘The Big Trail’ (1930), from his classic work with Cagney, Bogart and Flynn to his mastery of every genre (musicals, comedies, Westerns, gangster, war), Walsh made Hollywood history. His life is nothing less than the story of Hollywood itself. Here’s a full-bodied account of one of Hollywood’s greatest legends.

The physical evidence left behind warns us of another judgment to come, but when? The second film in THE DAYS OF NOAH series, “Judgment Hour,” answers this question. Just before the Flood, Noah gave a judgment hour message to the world and likewise, a prophecy foretold at the end of time another message would go forth to the world declaring “the hour of His judgment is come.” (Rev 14:6) As the judgment hour message proclaimed by Noah invited the people to find mercy and refuge in the Ark, so too, this judgment hour message for the last generation contains the instructions whereby man might find mercy and refuge in the last Ark before the destruction of the world by fire.
