But Peck himself did not care for his performance and would not allow Stephen Speilberg to use a part of the film in "Jaws".
Follow Ups:
How could GP refuse the rights? I thought such rights usually belong to the producer - no?
Speilberg asked him as a favor and when he declined Dpeilberg honored Peck's wishes. He wnated to start the film with Quint watching a showing of "Moby Dick" and laughing hysterically.
.
Did anyone notice that the Bartenders voice sounded suspiciously like John Houston? An overdub?Thought many actors would have played a darker more tortured Ahab -Even Charlton Heston said he would have liked a shot at the role and I think he’d of played it better. In later years Peck could get “evil”. I have no complaints with Peck’s portrayal of an evil Nazi in “Boy’s From Brazil”
All that said -Orson Wells giving the sermon was worth the price of admission of Moby Dick.
a very distinctive voice. I didn't know they dubbed like that in those years. OW was great, as always.
Jonbee- Glad I'm not alone on that one. Y' know I'm *SURE* it's Houston!
Yes and a loud one ! OW was fabulous!
