Movie Reviews of The Day of the Dolphin
Movie Review: They have now changed the cover to the one I have
Summary: 5 Stars
When I wrote this review they had a different photo of the DVD depicting a female with her midriff showing but mine was just George and the dolphins on the right and a very slim picture of a private airplane in flight, and guys shooting into the water and a boat explosion below that on the left (hard to really tell what they were unless you saw the movie). Now it is the same one. I had checked by putting in the UPC code and this came up. Mine has a copyright date of 2005 instead of 2006, though, and mine has the extra features: Interviews with screenwriter Buck Henry and co-stars Leslie Charleson and Edward Herrman, The World's Most Amazing Dolphin Trivia Gallery and Dolphin Bios. I think the features are probably in the DVD on this page too - just not listed here. I thought I had to purchase the one with the "sexier" front cover but received the more modest one -- I didn't buy it from Amazon.
I have loved this movie for years. They used to advertise this movie in the 80's on KBHK-TV Ch 44 San Francisco, CA, with the music from Saint-Saens Aquarium but that music is not in the movie / soundtrack.
Movie Review: EXCELLENT
Summary: 5 Stars
I remember seeing this movie when it came out and being absolutely captivated by it. I was surprised that it still holds up after all these years. It has everything that an animal lover would love; talking dolphins (admit it, you always knew they were smart), and enough suspense and drama to keep you captivated; evil plots to involve the innocent dolphins and utilizing their love for their "Pa" (George C. Scott) and each other to mastermind an evil plot to assassinate heads of state. I loved the trivia and behind the scenes facts and especially loved the fact that Buck and Ginger ("Fa" and "Be" in the movie) escaped/ran away immediately after filming...they just swam off and never came back! Definitely an "oldie-but-goodie" and worth every penny!Movie Review: One Of The All Time Best
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is one of my all time favorites. George C. Scott plays an obsessed director of an aquatic facility which trains dolphins to communicate with humans. It has a good story line and action scenes(for the 70's) right up until the heartwrenching end. This is one of those movies you can't stop thinking about long after you've viewed it.Movie Review: Still holds up
Summary: 5 Stars
I had seen this movie back in the 70's. I asked my husband if he had ever seen it and replied that he hadn't. He was riveted once the movie began and we find it's just a really good movie, well acted and will be played again in our home throughout the coming years. This film with George C. Scott still holds up after all these years.Movie Review: The Day of the Dolphin
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great thriller & one of my husband's favorites.
