An unfinished 1971 film project in which Orson Welles performs readings from Moby Dick against a minimalist blue-screen setting, conceived as a stylized, abstract adaptation but never edited or completed. (Note: Not to be confused with Welles’s separate 1955 filmed stage project Moby Dick—Rehearsed.)
