Captain Ahab pursues the white whale.

Sinekatalog’s take

John Huston's adaptation of Melville is a handsome, earnest sea epic. Gregory Peck's Ahab divides opinion, but the whaling sequences and the atmospheric colour make it an ambitious, imperfect classic.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
