It's a considerable achievement, filmed against monstrous physical odds.

A rolling and thundering color film that is herewith devoutly recommended as one of the great motion pictures of our times.

One could have plenty of quarrels with this as an adaptation of the Herman Melville novel, but it's still one of the better John Huston films of the 50s.

John Huston's long-cherished adaptation of Herman Melville's novel has some wonderful scenes but must be counted as a noble failure.

Moby Dick is interesting more often than exciting, faithful to the time and text more than great theatrical entertainment.

he film was not well received in 1956, much of the criticism leveled at Peck, but his stylized performance is more interesting 60 years later. Huston's treatment is equally compelling.

Even if it is Melville-lite, Moby Dick is a rousing, beautifully conceived old-school production.
