In Melville’s lifetime, the book only sold 3,200 copies but has since then sold approximately 1million copies a year.

The John Huston directed with screenplay by Huston and Ray Bradbury, the film stars Gregory Peck, Richard Baseheart and Leo Genn. The critics classified this as an instant classic upon its release.
