I've heard John Huston's retort to the distributors of 'Moulin Rouge' in their dislike of the film's tint, I'm thinking it would be similar to your re-working of this piece.
I remember this movie very well, so I can unequivocally tell you that the movie Moby Dick has now been destroyed. Removing the gorgeous Technicolor photography was brainless beyond all reason.
This Black and White version adds more drama to the film; thnks for your fine edit. Some films work better in color and others in Black and White. The Classic TV show the Fugitive lost the "drama" affect when it went from Black and White to Color; same with 12 O'Clock High. Well done!!
@amado1506kk I agree, but I also have both versions, as some days, like Ishmael, my soul is clouded and some days it's bright. I kind of lean towards the BW, though.
You meant well, but the director John Huston, used the technicolor three strip process for very specific reasons to create a unique effect for this film and for his other films like Moulin Rouge. By removing the color, you have changed considerably what this artist fully intended. Just food for thought.
I've always heard this film was shot in Widescreen but haven't been able to find it anywhere, I'll keep looking. Most people have no idea what a difference it makes watching everything that was actually filmed originally. If anyone knows anything about where to find the 'actual' widescreen version, please post. I heard it was shot in 1:85 not 2:35 what a pity!
@keitheric5 Yes, because it is like "colorization" of Cassablanca, etc. You can't say you've "improved it". It is no longer the original film. You have cropped it, and removed elements that made it a classic "FILM".
I appreciate you posting this "classic" story and film, just wish you hadn't altered it.

@mstrjasotk this is the reverse of colorisation of smme black a white film niorsof thqe 40s and 50s. black &white set the mood of films and colorazation destroyed it.

Actually I thinkthe B&W works better for this film than the color - enhances the creepiness factor of Ahab.
