Brilliant effort. Justly hailed as one of John Huston's best.But the novel exists in a completely different universe. For anyone who understands Melville's masterpiece, this is painful, impossible to watch, even embarassing.
Follow Ups:
I have read "Moby Dick" four times. I have seen the Huston film many more times than that. I think it a fine attempt. I also like the TV mini series with Patrick Stewart, which had a different approach. Film is a different medium than literature.
