Patten Free Library’s commemoration of Herman Melville’s 200th birthday ends with a screening of the restored edition of this classic film. John Huston and Ray Bradbury wrote the screenplay. The film stars Gregory Peck, Richard Basehart, and Leo Genn. Independent Melville scholar David Peloquin will host the movie and provide context. The Melville Society has described Peloquin’s work on mysticism in Moby-Dick as “entirely fresh and compelling analysis.”
