Moby Dick was a 1954 American television movie. Adapted from the novel Moby Dick by Herman Melville it aired as an episode of Hallmark Hall of Fame. It was directed by Albert McCleery. The budget was $20,000 with a cast of 24. "This is not a great spectacle," said McCleery. "It's the story of a man who tears himself to pieces in a frantic desire to find God. When you get down to it it's a religious story - not a whaling party." Source: Wikipedia (en)
