Directed by: John Huston
Starring: Gregory Peck, Leo Genn, Richard Basehart, James Robertson Justice
Trivia: During the filming at sea, Gregory Peck (Captain Ahab) nearly drowned several times during the whale-hunting scenes in which he had to participate. As a result, by the time the movie was finished, he and director John Huston were no longer on speaking terms.
Trivia: Orson Welles wrote his own scenes.
Continuity mistake: At the end of the movie when the crew are in the boats going after Moby Dick, the sky changes throughout the entire scene. At moments it is sunny, then cloudy, then overcast.
Captain Ahab: By heavens man, we are turned round and round in this world, like yonder windlass, and fate is the handspike.
