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

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

[cuttock]

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

[Jamstebun]

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

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.

@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

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

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...
