Product: Moby Dick [VHS] (1998)
Rating: 4.0
Solid production with a few quibbles
Patrick Stewart handles Ahab admirably, and Gregory Peck as the minister giving his blessings and warnings at the outset provides continuity to the version in which he himself played Ahab.Two points to consider:1. Queequeg is played with considerable energy and earthy humor, but the actor risks veers close to a "John Belushi" homage (which has its own charms).2. I found the English subtitles (for those of us who need help hearing) contain an unacceptable number of errors - from simple misspellings (e.g., "thoudsands" for "thousands") to text that appears to be the transcribed notes of a non-native English speaker (as heard by his/her ear and written out by sound). I highly recommend that Amazon contract with an editor to review the English subtitles, edit appropriately, and that Amazon find a way to insert corrected text. The errors are so distracting that I would even ask Amazon to send corrected versions to those who request a swap-out (such as myself).
