Description

Thanks to Sam Talley who notes: "This movie stars John Barrymore and Joan Bennett. It greatly distorts author Herman Melville's plot in the novel and has the hero survive the whale ordeal and return home to his lover. The film briefly experiments with wide screen. This was one of Barrymore's biggest box-office hits."
