About the film

Catch the Sony Pictures classic, Moby Dick (1956), screened within the gallery featuring the exhibition A Spectacle In Motion: The Grand Panorama of a Whaling Voyage ‘Round the World, for a memorable night of high seas adventure. In this film, directed and produced by John Huston, from Herman Melville's 1851 novel Moby-Dick, Capt. Ahab (Gregory Peck) has a vendetta against Moby Dick, the great white whale responsible for taking his leg. He sets out on a suicidal quest, anxious for a final showdown with the legendary white whale. Enjoy the film alongside the 1848 Grand Panorama, a massive 1275 foot-long painting of a whaling voyage that was viewed by Melville prior to completing Moby-Dick, and other art and artifacts from the period, including harpoons, whaleship logbooks, historic maps, and more. MMAM curator Jon Swanson will introduce the film and exhibition.
