The best most authentic version of Herman Melville's classic best seller ever produced. Very highly rated on IMDB. Old Vic trained actor Jack Aranson gives life to Melville's poetic dialogue. Its a high lofty prose with many layers of meaning similar to the Bible. This never before available movie was released in May 2006 through Amazon.
