New Version of `Moby Dick` Film Released

`Moby Dick` makes waves yet again. For the first time ever, a new previously unreleased version of the film has been discovered. Jack Aranson stars in this 90 minute theatrical DVD. Aranson was trained in the Old Vic. Herman Melville`s old English prose is authentically captured in this movie.

`I`m the fates lieutenant under orders. I`d strike the sun if it insulted me,` says Captain Ahab. `Ahab, beware of Ahab,` says Starbuck, the chief mate. This is the story of a man possessed by revenge and how it destroys him and everything around him. Captain Ahab is one of the greatest characters in literature.

Great actors like John Barrymore and Orson Wells were drawn to this great tragic figure. This is the most authentic dialogue from Herman Melville`s greatest American novel. This adaptation should be seen by every student and follower of great literature. It reads like the Bible with great insights. Jung said Melville discovered the subconscious before Freud.
