  • Perhaps not as well as Welles, but this was the last thing Peck ever did and will hopefully be remember along with a fantastic career.

  • Sorry, compared to the original Welles version this this one is sluggish and monotonous. Not nearly the dynamic range of Welles; too much growling.

  • he's gone full circle.

  • Too much brimestone for the character FAther Mapple. Still, what an amazing actor.

  • im confused....Moby Dick had a SEQUEL???and why is Captain Ahab behind of the pulpit???

  • @blueunicorno8 it isn't a sequel. It was remade with Patrick Stewart in the role of Captain Ahab. Peck agreed to do this short preformance as Father Mapple. All in all it is a pretty good movie

  • O W Was a master as G P. I cant compare the two with any fairness. That said in my taste O W Was more believable in every thing he did... more real. In the original he also played Bildad the co owner of the pequad. I had to look at the credits to make sure. He was that good...

  • Peck does a very fine job, but Orson Wells' performance is trandscendant.

  • @witness2history Wells performance is bushels above Peck's performance as Father Mapple. . . .

  • The Best actor ever!!!!!!!!

  • Sorry to all teh Peck haters,., But This is an epic performance, ten time more alive and animated....

  • Absolutely sub par to Orson Welles rendition. Orson was perfect. This was awful compared to him. It was painful to watch especially since Peck was in the original movie.

  • but it deos make the movie more fasinating.

  • Totally embarassing!

  • Absolutely NOTHING like the one and one only REAL performance from Orson Welles.

  • Stunning. But what else does one expect from Gregory Peck?

  • I remember watching this when it first aired and being skepical about a re-make of Moby Dick. This early scene, and what followed, won me immediately, and there were so many memorable scenes to follow.

  • A six minute performance by a legendary actor... winner of a Golden Globe award for Best Supporting Actor as Father Mapple.
