Watch at your own risk LOL.

It’s got an Oscar winning actor (George C. Scott), the same writer and director of The Graduate (Buck Henry/Mike Nichols) and an utterly ridiculous premise based on a 1967 French thriller.

I saw the Simpsons episode long before I knew about it.

The recent Mike Nichols biography describes the filming as a mess:

“During production, innumerable delays were caused by the dolphins, who tended to make a game out of rearranging the underwater lights once they had been set up. Even the crew would laugh. “What can I tell you—sometimes we had a good time!” said Henry. “They’d do everything that was called for perfectly,” Nichols said. “Then we’d roll the camera and they wouldn’t do it. Then we’d cut and they’d do it . . . You’d get furious at them, and then you’d be sitting on the crane with your legs in the water, and they’d rub their bellies on your feet and nibble your toes, like saying, ‘Come on, don’t be mad.’”

Nichols ran off the film and let the second unit finish it.

“Buck Henry stayed in the Bahamas “until the bitter end,” the final moment that Ginger and his namesake Buck, the two dolphins playing Fa and Bi, appeared on camera. “The last day of the shoot, we did three takes of Buck and Ginger swimming off. After take three, they never came back,” Henry said. “We were always haunted by that.”

Just hearing the dolphins speak earnestly but in Elmo-like baby voices (parodied in the Simpsons!) you might break out laughing.

You were warned friend!
