(PRWEB) December 6, 2005 -- Veteran Producer John Robert releases highly-acclaimed Moby Dick DVD on Amazon. John Roberts re-mastered the DVD production for release. Roberts says there has been a public desire for a truly worded Moby Dick that captures the beauty and depth of Herman Melville's words.

According to veteran Producer John Robert "This is the most authentic version of Herman Melville's best seller ever produced. Old Vic trained star Jack Aranson gives life to to Melville's writing.Its a high lofty prose with many layers of meaning similar to the Bible. The Director was well- known DGA Director Paul Stanley who work includes over 100 episodic TV series shows over 20 years. Moby Dick was digitally re-mastered for its November Amazon DVD release.To view a one- minute streaming video trailer go to distributor Customflix Moby Dick site."

Jack Aranson served a two year apprenticeship at the Old Vic.He toured Ireland in many Shakespearean roles in a different play every night. Jack went to New York to play in King Lear with Orson Wells. Jack was director of Shakespeare at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts.

Famous people who have been drawn to do a production of Moby Dick include John Barrymore, John Huston, and Orson Wells. Jack Barrymore filmed Moby Dick twice, once as The Sea Beast. Orson Wells did a stage play called Moby Dick Rehearsed. Herman Melville has often been called American's Shakespeare.

This production of Moby Dick has had some great reviews:

Time magazine" To devise a version of Moby Dick as a ...theatre piece comes under the heading 'They said it couldn't be done' Jack Aranson has done it superbly...With this ... show Jack Aranson has joined a select and illuminating company,that of John Gielgud in 'Ages of Man,'Siobhan McKenna in 'Here are Ladies,'Emlyn Williams as Charles Dickens and Hal Holbrook in 'Mark Twain Tonight.''Moby Dick' is the most formidable task of the lot."
T.E. Kalem

Eloit Norton, Boston Herald Examiner
"As AHAB, Mr Aranson takes on stature. He reaches up to confront the stars. His chest expands. His voice is a trumpet, roaring over the sound of the sea. His eyes glitter with frenzy. It is a brilliant performance."
