Trailer 202 of 478
Hoping to horn in on Universal's wartime horror windfall, RKO saddled Val Lewton with titles like this one, but the producer, incapable of making dumb movies, turned it into one of his greatest achievements. Dark, moody, poetic and altogether memorable despite its meager budget.
as an 18 year member of the Society for Creative Anachronism (75k members worldwide), i can say that this movie is both inspiring and required viewing for most members. we have progressed to be more authentic to the period, but this film will always show us our roots in well meaning insanity..
Lots of Religious symbolism and biblical parallels in Moby Dick as in Melville's other book to film ,Billy Budd. This would have been perfect if it weren't for Peck,he just isn't creepy or threatening enough...
This is a silly question but Million Dollar Movie was on WWOR Channel here in New York correct? I was born in 1978 have no real memory of it other then the opening theme. That opening is on youtube also! Oh and this is a fantastic movie as well thanks Ernest for this...
