  • Melville was reading much bible & Shakespeare while writing Moby Dick. My favorite Novel of all time. I cannot remember the number of times I have read it, probably around 25 times? In re-reads it continues to reveal new things, it's so rich...

  • Todays films fall way short of this virture of common men in society.

  • Orson Welles was robbed of a Best Supporting Actor Oscar....

  • I have never failed to be moved to question my life when I have watched this sermon. 

  • At 1:31 Orson Welles is leaving the restroom

  • @MrATLACATL God, maybe, but who thinks they can strike against God if they believe in a God, perhaps passion and hate, vengeance is more likely.

  • what moby dick represents? Our fears? God????

  • Multitudinously Murmuring...

    That is classic!!!

  • It is easily forgotten in his brilliant performance, but the fact is that Orson Welles, at Huston's insistance, also wrote every word of his part. Absolute genius!

  • @dapoetmaster Intrigued by your love for the book. (Me too.) Believe it or not, my 6th grade class read it as a group. Got more out of it over the years.

    What do you think of Huston's decision to show Starbuck standing behind Lincolnesque Ahab with the derringer?
