Editorial Reviews

Eloit Norton, Boston Herald Examiner

"As Ahab...it is a brilliant performance."

Product Description

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 DVD was released in May 2006 through Amazon. It was produced by veteran Producer John Robert and Directed by Paul Stanley DGA who spent over 20 years as a director on 100 high profile TV series including Hallmark Hall of Fame. Herman Melville is considered America's Shakespeare. Jack Aranson shows what great acting can be. Own an Art Film for you and your family.

"As Ahab,Mr Aranson takes on stature. He reaches up to confront the stars. His chest expands. His voice is a trumpet, roaring over the sound of the sea. His eyes glitter with frenzy. It is a brilliant performance."

Elloit Norton, Boston Herald American

4.0 out of 5 stars A Brilliant Theater Performance, February 6, 2006

By	Roger Darkwine "Blessed be." (North Carolina, USA) - See all my reviews

This is not a movie version of Herman Melville's MOBY DICK; it is a single actor on a stage, in front of an audience, playing all roles. You might think this wouldn't be enjoyable, but for a mature viewer seeking to squeeze the essence out of the book, this is quite worth while. The actor is brilliant, shifting characters in a blink. One deeply experiences the personalities of the main characters, especially Ahab; you can feel the mad rage pouring forth from Ahab.

4.0 out of 5 stars Future Acting Cult Classic !!, December 27, 2005

By	John Robert (los angeles, ca) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Captain Ahab as done by Jack Aranson may be the finest Ahab ever put to film. Jack captures Herman Melville's blank verse. This is a DVD you will watch over and over for the insights contained in MOBY DICK.This is not a sea story- this is the classic story of where pride and arrogance will lead you.The tail is biblical in scope.This is a DVD for the family collection. This is a chance to see some great acting!!
