Title: Call me Ishmael...
Review: My only objection to this film is that when I read the book I hear Gregory Peck's voice! Despite the advances in special effects that might diminish this work in the eyes of the video generation I found this to be a masterwork, especially the film coloration that served as a "background wash" for Ahab's hard-edged reality. Orson Welles' portrayal of Father Mapple is worth the price of admission in and of itself. Visually, this is a magnificent film. A must for coffee drinkers who wonder who Starbuck's coffee is named for...
