directed by Mike Nichols
USA
1973
"Filled with graceful and serene activity the camera catches wonderful moments of underwater photography in "The Day of the Dolphin". If you can suspend your disbelief for the pretext of English speaking dolphins plot, this can be quite a rewarding viewing experience. A strange and serious subject matter of a film for director Mike Nichols and screen writer Buck Henry... both evolving out of the comedic genre. As a young boy I was absorbed by this film and still to some degree this day as well. I found my only major drawback as an adult were the expansion of the subplot to assassinate the President seemed to come out of left field. Regardless it is worth seeing at least once in your life. If you are in the right mood, you'll enjoy this film."

This is a very strong
DVD. Wonderful 2.35 anamorphic picture, excellent sound quality and some
interesting Extras. The underwater sequences are especially brilliant in
their detail and color. My only complaint is the price tag. I thought it
was a little high for this caliber of film and DVD with no subs and no
commentary, but its still nice to see Home Vision taking the trouble to
produce quality stuff on the image, sound and Extras front. Good job ! |
