Although star Gregory Peck felt director John Huston should have played Ahab himself, Huston had hoped his father Walter Huston would live to take the role. This third film version of Melville's classic is beautifully shot and produced, but Huston and writer Ray Bradbury had a rocky relationship, which Bradbury dramatized in his novel "Green Shadows, White Whale" and the short story "Banshee".

as an 18 year member of the Society for Creative Anachronism (75k members worldwide), i can say that this movie is both inspiring and required viewing for most members. we have progressed to be more authentic to the period, but this film will always show us our roots in well meaning insanity..
Lots of Religious symbolism and biblical parallels in Moby Dick as in Melville's other book to film ,Billy Budd. This would have been perfect if it weren't for Peck,he just isn't creepy or threatening enough...
This is a silly question but Million Dollar Movie was on WWOR Channel here in New York correct? I was born in 1978 have no real memory of it other then the opening theme. That opening is on youtube also! Oh and this is a fantastic movie as well thanks Ernest for this...
