Wiki.
Moby Dick is a 1956 American color adventure film directed and produced by John Huston, who co-wrote the screenplay with Ray Bradbury. A film adaptation of Herman Melville's 1851 novel Moby-Dick, the film stars Gregory Peck, Richard Basehart and Leo Genn and follows the exploits of Captain Ahab in pursuing and killing a gigantic sperm whale with whom he has a personal vendetta.
The music score was written by Philip Sainton, and also features a guest appearance by folk singer A.L. Lloyd, singing a sea shanty in the inn before Ishmael signs aboard the Pequod.
