Robinson as Dathan, Yvonne De Carlo as Zipporah, Debra Paget as Lilia, and John Derek as Joshua.  The poster artist, Macario Gómez Quibus, known by the professional nickname of MAC (8 March 1926 – 20 July 2018), was a Spanish film poster artist and designer known for his work for some of Hollywood’s best known films of the 20th Century.
