...dolphin has the best part. As operated by animatronics ace Walt Conti, Flipper is a cool dude. He moonwalks on water and gets great vertical extension on his leaps. And with his soulful stare and plangent "voice," Flipper has a star movie animal's emotional intensity. He gives good heart...
...eurythane rubber. (There is also a Turbo Willy - -- essentially the top of the whale, with mammoth hydraulic propellers on the bottom.) How real were the fake Willys? Persuasive enough so that the real Willy got the hots for them. "Whales are well-endowed animals," notes Walt Conti, the effects magician who created the seductive stand-ins.

Tom Conti looks too young for Miller's antihero (although the script is inconsistent about his history) and seems too ingratiating. Perhaps the idea is to suggest that king-of-the-jungle fantasy persists in the most genial men; even so, Conti evokes intellectual posturing more than yearning. Gemma Jones is suitably antiseptic as his first wife, but Clare Higgins seems a bit stale for the younger second one, and Deirdre Strath just shouts as a grownup daughter...
