The Sea Beast (1926 Film)
''The Sea Beast'' is a 1926 American silent drama film directed by Millard Webb, starring John Barrymore, Dolores Costello and George O'Hara. The film was a major commercial success and one of the biggest pictures of 1926 becoming Warner Brothers' highest grossing film. ''The Sea Beast'' is the first adaptation of Herman Melville's 1851 novel ''Moby-Dick'', a story about a monomaniacal hunt for a great white whale. However, the film alters the novel's plotline by establishing prequel and sequel elements that are not in the original story—such as the romancing of Esther and Ahab's safe return, respectively—and substitutes a happy ending for Melville's original tragic one. Some of the characters in the film do not appear in Melville's original novel. Plot At the beginning of the story, Ahab (John Barrymore) and his half brother Derek ( George O'Hara) compete for the affections of a winsome minister's daughter, Esther Wiscasset (Dolores Costello). Meanwhile, an albino whale ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
