John Huston gives a passionate and faithful rendering of Herman Melville's novel in Moby Dick, aided by a stellar cast.
June 02, 2008
Moby Dick is interesting more often than exciting, faithful to the time and text more than great theatrical entertainment.
June 24, 2006
It is often staggeringly good.
August 05, 2011
One could have plenty of quarrels with this as an adaptation of the Herman Melville novel, but it's still one of the better John Huston films of the 50s.
March 25, 2006
A rolling and thundering color film that is herewith devoutly recommended as one of the great motion pictures of our times.
October 08, 2010
Even if it is Melville-lite, Moby Dick is a rousing, beautifully conceived old-school production.
June 25, 2008
Huston uses his great filmmaking skills to keep things mostly on course.
April 05, 2011
The film takes flight as a grand chase movie, and leaves its ambition in its wake.
April 05, 2011
John Huston's long-cherished adaptation of Herman Melville's novel has some wonderful scenes but must be counted as a noble failure.
May 24, 2003
It's a considerable achievement, filmed against monstrous physical odds.
August 05, 2011
Moby Dick is certainly the most unusual picture of the year and may well be the best.
January 27, 2017
he film was not well received in 1956, much of the criticism leveled at Peck, but his stylized performance is more interesting 60 years later. Huston's treatment is equally compelling.
