Watching the Gregory Peck version of Moby Dick on TCM. Not sure what I would do without this channel. The final scenes of Ahab's last battle with the whale are truly devastating. Does anyone here realize, by the way, that the story of Moby Dick is actually based on a real event? Look up the Essex. As much as I believe whale hunting today should be eliminated, one cannot help but be impressed with the bravery of men who took on such enormous creatures in hand-rowed boats with hand-thrown weapons.
