Want to see a really lousy George C. Scott movie?

I just sent a 1973 movie to a friend in Georgia, he loves the movie "Patton," and "Dr Strangelove," he never saw this one.

"Day Of The Dolphin"

It really is shit.

1. I remember seeing this when it first came out...

based on the fact that Scott was in it. To my recollection, it made very little sense....very little....

2. Check out the excellent Flim Flam Man.

6. Flim Flam Man was the first George C Scott

movie I remember seeing.
It is a really great movie.

3. Seen it - it is pretty bad.

When we were in St. Thomas a few weeks ago we went by the Lilly house where dolphin research was done - and that may have inspired the book the movie was loosely based on. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human%E2%80%93animal_communication#Lilly

4. I can't stand his version of A Christmas Carol.

Not an honest minute in the whole thing, and overproduced to a fault.

5. He did a crappy sitcom called "Mr President" in the '80's

But a lot of awesome roles interspersed.
They can't all be "Patton".
Yes his "Christmas Carol" stank.

7. It won an Academy Award for Best Original Music Score

That's gotta count for something.
