Review of The Day of the Dolphin (1973) by Tom H — 30 Mar 2010
Fa love pa! Training dolphins to try and assasinate the President of the United States. Sounds like a pretty stupid premis for a a movie, doesn't it? Fact is, it IS a pretty stupid premis. However somehow the work of director Mike Nichols, writer Buck Henry and star George C. Scott managed to make me suspend disbelief (a LOT of disbelief) and just enjoy the movie.
As the film went along I got involved in the story of Alpha and Beta, though I kept mistaking Paul Sorvino for Oliver Platt. Watch the film and you'll see what I mean.
