Audio problem: Throughout the opening scenes, the innkeeper's lips are out of synch with his dialog due to a less-than-stellar job of overdubbing. The voice substituted for the original actor's belongs to director John Huston. (00:05:00 - 00:13:30)
Moby Dick (1956)
1 audio problem - chronological order
Directed by: John Huston
Starring: Gregory Peck, Leo Genn, Richard Basehart, James Robertson Justice
Continuity mistake: When Ishmael is in bed watching Queequeg looking around his room, his head rotates between shots.
Captain Ahab: Birds... the birds... He rises.
Trivia: During the filming at sea, Gregory Peck (Captain Ahab) nearly drowned several times during the whale-hunting scenes in which he had to participate. As a result, by the time the movie was finished, he and director John Huston were no longer on speaking terms.
