"Hollywood actor Victor Jory played the part of Captain Ahab in an hour-long dramatization of Moby-Dick presented on Sunday afternoon, May 16, to a nationwide television audience. The program was the Hallmark Hall of Fame. Others in the cast included Hugh O’Brien as Starbuck, Steve Darrell as Tashtego, Lamont Johnson as Ishmael, and Harvey Stevens as Stubb. Some interesting technical problems had to be solved in preparing the play for television."
