Description

Moby Dick

Moby Dick is a 1956 film adaptation of Herman Melville's novel Moby-Dick, directed by John Huston, and packaged on DVD.

A spectacular retelling of the Herman Melville classic, masterfully directed by John Huston, is unsurpassed in entertainment, imagination and high adventure. From the screenplay by Ray Bradberry and Huston, Moby Dick is a brilliant film (Time).

Consumed by an insane rage, Captain Ahab (Gregory Peck) has but one purpose in life revenge on Moby Dick, the great white whale who maimed and disfigured him. The obsessed skipper of a whaling boat, Ahab uses his command as an excuse to sail the seven seas in an unrelenting search of his prey. Battling a mutinous crew, tropical heat and violent storms, Ahab finally catches up to his quarry and begins a confrontation that culminates in an epic struggle of nonstop fury…and inevitable doom.

Critic reviews:

  • " Huston's take on the Great American Novel is surprisingly light on its feat – a thrilling portrait of single-minded obsession that still resonates today. " – Matthew Lucas
  • " The 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. " – Sean Axmaker
  • " John Huston gives a passionate and faithful rendering of Herman Melville's novel in Moby Dick, aided by a stellar cast. " – TV Guide
