Higgledy-Piggledy Whale Statements Appendix 3: The Sea Beast (1926)
Update: 2021-11-26
Description
In this episode, we take a break from the talkies, with the 1926 silent film The Sea Beast. This adaptation of Moby Dick, starring John Barrymore, takes it to strangely conventional new places with love-lorn hero Ahab Ceeley seeking the hand of his sweetheart in competition with his half-brother Derek. The ending may surprise you! So may a lot of things, including the occasional eruption of fidelity to the novel.
Next episode: We had to put it off, but now we can put it back on: A look at Orson Welles' various and variably complete efforts to adapt Moby Dick.
