Moby Dick (Hallmark Hall of Fame)
From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
Moby Dick was a 1954 American television movie. Adapted from the novel Moby Dick by Herman Melville it aired as an episode of Hallmark Hall of Fame.[1]
It was directed by Albert McCleery.
The budget was $20,000 with a cast of 24. "This is not a great spectacle," said McCleery. "It's the story of a man who tears himself to pieces in a frantic desire to find God. When you get down to it it's a religious story - not a whaling party."[2]
