French director Robert Bresson was hired in 1964 by producer Dino De Laurentiis as director. When he shot his first scene, the deluge, he requested the use of all the animals in Rome city zoo. The producers complied, but upon checking the daily rushes, saw that the only thing Bresson filmed was the tracks of the animals upon a sandy beach. They were furious, and Bresson was fired, John Huston took over the project, delaying production a further six months.
