INTOLERANCE - 1916


Here is a still photo of the rear of the Babylon Set for D.W. Griffith's "Intolerance". It was the biggest standing set ever built at that time and I believe it still holds the record. Notice the size of the men standing at the base of the structure. All wood and no building inspectors during that era. It held hundreds of extras as you will see below. They couldn't pay me enough to put on a costume and go to the top of that thing.

This is the set in action.
