The 1976 film by Charles Sellier and Dave Balsiger was full of half-truths and cleverly worded material that was worthless. An example of the former was in it's report on the traces of the flood Wooly found at Ur's remains in thew 1920's. The movie never explains how it was soon realized that the flood found there did not cover even the entire city let alone all of the planet earth!
An example of the latter was when it mentioned Robert Ripley, who had never having been proven wrong, finding a tradition about Noah's tomb in the mountains. As a Lebanese american I swallow pride in saying this. Ripley only found a bunch of Middle Eastern people who believed the structure contained Noah's body's remains! Clearly he was not likely to be disproven about that!
That movie was (at least) as of 1997 disadvocated by the ICR. When I called them four years ago they told me they didn't recommend the film any longer on the grounds it was too misinformative. Interestingly, they never explained how their beloved leader Henry Morriss was seen in the film talking to the narrator of the movie (Bud Crandall). And let's not forget Johnboy Morriss himself also in the film. Years later (1993 or 94 or 95) John Morriss did more creationist dud film work for Sellier and Balsiger and the ICR didn't explain that either!
