Just recently watched the film myself and Ahab is the second captain to utterly terrify me the first would be Flint from Treasure Island. Gregory Peck did a wonderful job conveying the madness brimming below the surface.
"Aye!! It was Moby Dick. Who tore my soul and body until they bled into each other. Aye. I'll chase him around the Horn and the Norway maelstrom and thru Perdition's Flame... before I give him up. This is what you signed up for men..."
Bernard miles is the manxman give me a terrific performance he was one of the greatest actors England ever saw there won't be anyone like him ever again
It's a white whale, I say. Skin your eyes for him. Captain, sir, could it be the one that fantails a little curious before he go down? Has he a curious spout, all bushy and mighty quick and high, sir? And irons in his hide, many irons, all twist around? Aye, like corkscrews. He's struck full of harpoons, men. And his spout is a big one, like a whole shock of wheat. And he fantails like a broken jib in a storm. Death, men, you've seen him. It's Moby Dick.
Pecks signature role. I first saw this when i was 3 or 4 in 79 or 80 and i watched it every christmas on stv or bbc till i was old enough to go clubbing during festive time.
Greatest seafaring movie 🎬 Moby Dick starring Gregory Pack in his greatest movie 🎬 performance as Captain Ahab and Richard Basehart in his greatest movie performance as Ismael.
check out Mariners Home in New Bedford my bunk was upstairs near the window . Drink Like Melville all day long. Action in the North Atlantic Bogart. Walk across street from Porter T stop .
You can feel the inner torment of Ahab. Peck had this part nailed down and this film is a benchmark in cinema history me hearties!

@Tim Cantrell He tasks me! That boy, he tasks me!
Gregory Peck was perfectly cast, he looks exactly like I always imagined Ahab.
Me too like abraham Lincoln
Word is it he went way out of his way to get this part. Even arrived before production started.
Gregory Peck will forever be the only captain Ahab.
Yeah I feel the same way! He still inspires me
Ahah means Abraham Lincoln right
Patrick Stewart was amazing also
until nic cage does it
@@murdockfiles9406Yes, but NOT so intensive.
my favorite gregory peck movie!
It's cool that Queequeg, Teshtego, and Daggoo all know Moby Dick apparently having encountered him before.
This is loosely based on an actual white sperm whale named "Mocha Dick".
Peck is Ahab the way Perkins is Norman Bates, destroying the role for anyone else. That voice!

Legendary..classical..iconic speech
How the hell he said that in one take without taking a breath is nothing short of amazing

Always my favorite movie on Family Classics with Frazier Thomas back in Chicago.
Merchant Marines back in the day. Dads Home! Mariners House Boston ,Mass.
Surely Melville wrote MD as a vehicle for Greg, Peck. They don't make films like this any more.
this movie is 10 times better that the new version
What new version??
@@LukeCutox97italia 2015...in the heart of sea, moby dick
0:35 captain Ahab looks like a statue with the look on nothing
The camera work is very un-50's. It's the kind of rough imagery that came with the New Hollywood of the 70's.
