Moby Dick (1956)
I know this is a classic story, but the 1956 film adaptation was pretty awful. I never tried to watch another version, because I happen to be afraid of water, but I managed to sit through this one for the sake of Gregory Peck.
Greg stars in this virtual one-man show, about a disgruntled, disfigured sea captain who seeks revenge on the whale who scarred him years ago. I don’t know if it was the director’s fault, or if Greg was just having a bad couple of months, but his performance was over-the-top, unconvincing, and downright silly. And the spirit gum that was supposed to serve as a scar was distracting, in a bad way as it held on for dear life the entire movie. If you’re particularly attached to the story, read the book again, or try another version. This one will disappoint you.
