"An Effective and Pessimistic Fable on the Inadequacy of Man and the Sufficiency of the Beasts" - Sight and Sound

A nostalgic favorite of those who grew up in the '70s. The Day of the Dolphin stars George C. Scott as a scientist who trains dolphins to speak, only to find them enmeshed in a government assassination plot. The successful directing and writing duo of Mike Nichols and Buck Henry (The Graduate, Catch-22) team-up again to adapt this adventure fantasy from the popular novel by Robert Merle. Featuring an Academy Award nominated score from legendary composer Georges Delerue (Dry for Night, Contempt), The day of the Dolphin) is presented in a new 16x9 transfer and with a 3.0 stereo soundtrack, and is perfect for family viewing.
