En este 2025 se cumplen 70 a\u00f1os<\/strong> del estreno de una de las grandes superproducciones de Hollywood: `Moby Dick\u00b4,<\/strong> basada en la novela de Herman Melville. La ballena m\u00e1s famosa del cine<\/strong> se convirti\u00f3 en un icono universal, pero pocos saben que fue construida en Gran Canaria<\/strong> y que all\u00ed tambi\u00e9n se rodaron muchas de las escenas m\u00e1s importantes de la pel\u00edcula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Las\u00a0condiciones meteorol\u00f3gicas<\/strong>\u00a0fueron fundamentales en la decisi\u00f3n. Inicialmente, el equipo rodaba en la\u00a0costa de Gales<\/strong>, pero el mal tiempo provoc\u00f3 la p\u00e9rdida de\u00a0dos ballenas mec\u00e1nicas<\/strong>\u00a0construidas expresamente para la producci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSe rod\u00f3 aqu\u00ed porque tuvieron grandes dificultades en la costa de Gales<\/strong>. Con el mal tiempo que hac\u00eda, perdieron dos ballenas que hab\u00edan construido exprofeso all\u00ed\u201d, explica el escritor y cineasta Luis Roca<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fuente de empleo para los isle\u00f1os<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

La producci\u00f3n se traslad\u00f3 a\u00a0Las Palmas de Gran Canaria<\/strong>, donde la ballena fue construida a orillas de la\u00a0playa de Las Canteras<\/strong>. Con\u00a035 metros de largo<\/strong>\u00a0y un peso de\u00a018 toneladas<\/strong>, estaba hecha de\u00a0madera y caucho<\/strong>, dise\u00f1ada para moverse en el agua como un aut\u00e9ntico animal marino.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fue la pesadilla del actor Gregory Peck<\/strong>, que interpret\u00f3 al capit\u00e1n Ahab, pero tambi\u00e9n una fuente de empleo para muchos isle\u00f1os. M\u00e1s de 60 carpinteros canarios<\/strong> participaron en su construcci\u00f3n, entre ellos Pedro V\u00e1zquez<\/strong>, que ten\u00eda 21 a\u00f1os por entonces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gregory Peck<\/strong>, John Huston<\/strong> (el director) y otros grandes nombres de la \u00e9poca convirtieron Las Palmas en un hervidero de estrellas de cine. El actor californiano celebr\u00f3 el final del rodaje con un solemne corte de melena y afeitado<\/strong>, mientras que su d\u00eda a d\u00eda en la isla era coordinado por Antonio Quevedo<\/strong>, encargado de sus traslados al Hotel Santa Catalina<\/strong>, sus fiestas en el Club Brit\u00e1nico<\/strong>, e incluso los partidos de f\u00fatbol<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Las Palmas no lo olvida<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Fueron meses de revuelo y bonanza. No era solo una producci\u00f3n de Hollywood: era tambi\u00e9n un momento especial para una ciudad que empezaba a salir de los a\u00f1os duros de la posguerra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Setenta a\u00f1os despu\u00e9s<\/strong>, Las Palmas no ha olvidado a la gran ballena blanca<\/strong> que, durante meses, convirti\u00f3 sus costas en un plat\u00f3 de cine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
