Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The Day of the Dolphin
This is a great thriller & one of my husband's favorites.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - But The Dolphin Seemed So Playful.....Until It Tried To Kill Me!
Ever seen a political thriller that employs dolphins as potential assassins? Why the heck not? As a curiosity, it's hard to beat "The Day of the Dolphin." Bringing together a bizarre amalgamation of talent-- this 1973 film stars George C. Scott (a few years after his Oscar for "Patton"), was written by Buck Henry (known mostly for comedy), and was directed by Mike Nichols (yes, that Mike Nichols)! Nichols has done everything from "The Graduate" and "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" through to ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - They have now changed the cover to the one I have
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, ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Wonderful Film
I guess you could say I am a person who likes films that says what if..This one is that a person can teach a dolphin to talk in human language. It is a touching, wonderful, interesting story, about mankind in all its goodness and other full of greed and explotation of anything to make a the almighty buck.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - One Of The All Time Best
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.
