      Moby Dick is interesting more often than exciting, faithful to the time and text more than great theatrical entertainment. ( Read More )
    • Ian Nathan

      The film takes flight as a grand chase movie, and leaves its ambition in its wake. ( Read More )
    • Jonathan Rosenbaum

      One could have plenty of quarrels with this as an adaptation of the Herman Melville novel, but its still one of the better John Huston films of the 50s. ( Read More )
    • Adrian Turner

      John Hustons long cherished adaptation of Herman Melvilles novel has some wonderful scenes but must be counted as a noble failure. ( Read More )
    • Dennis Schwartz

      Also bringing the film down a few notches is that some of Melvilles biblical references are removed, as the film gives way some of its literary ambitions and becomes instead more winsome as an exciting chase adventure film than anything else. ( Read More )
