Viva Maria! looks like a Hollywood comic western, the sort the studios describe as "rollicking round-ups," or "madcap hi-jinx with the men who made the West."

...epic, he envisioned a ten-hour film, costing $25 million and depicting nearly all the still waters and flaming furnaces, from Creation to Gethsemane. When he actually started shooting the picture in Rome last May, he had boiled it down to a mere three-hour, $15 million Technicolor frieze of episodes from Genesis 1-22, with Christopher Fry writing the script and a cast of a dozen stars, including Ava Gardner, as the Mother of the Jews, and John Huston, who plays Noah and also directs the film...
