...Eccentric.....It is brilliantly shot by British cinematographer Oswald Morris in rich, dark colours...

Rating: 3/5 -- John Huston's long-cherished adaptation of Herman Melville's novel has some wonderful scenes but must be counted as a noble failure. Full Review

Moby Dick is certainly the most unusual picture of the year and may well be the best. Full Review

[I]t does have a heady richness -- you can really smell the brine. There's no question that the film's visual scheme bears the influence of Welles.

Herman Melville's famous novel about a satanic superwhale has been turned into a strong and eye-filling movie by John Huston, although the mystic overtones in the story are still far from easy to interpret. Full Review

A rolling and thundering color film that is herewith devoutly recommended as one of the great motion pictures of our times. Full Review

he film was not well received in 1956, much of the criticism leveled at Peck, but his stylized performance is more interesting 60 years later. Huston's treatment is equally compelling. Full Review

Product Description:

In New Bedford, Connecticut, in the 1800s, a group of seamen board the Pequod, captained by Ahab (Gregory Peck). They know they're out to harpoon whales; what they don't realize is that Ahab once lost a leg to the magnificent white whale Moby Dick, and that he'll risk anything to get back at the animal that maimed him--including himself and every member of his crew. John Huston's adaptation of Melville's symbolic and allegorical masterpiece about one man's obsession with battling nature's most powerful creature makes beautiful use of Technicolor in bringing one of literature's most beloved works to vivid life. Ray Bradbury wrote the screenplay for this first-rate adaptation of Herman Melville's 1851 novel.
