Flipper's New Adventure (1964)


MGM
Directed by Leon Benson
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb Wikipedia
(DVD, Warner Bros.)

Teen Luke Halpin runs away from his Florida home with his pet dolphin Flipper, after a new highway threatens to separate them. They end up on a deserted island in the Bahamas, where Halpin uses his skills to survive. He is soon joined by a British family forced ashore by convicts who have kidnapped their wealthy patriarch. Luke helps them survive incognito and falls for their pretty daughter Pamela Franklin. Their teenage crush doesn't really go anywhere and she begins to resent him when he foils a rescue. Eventually the convicts return and it is up to Halpin and Flipper to save them. Innocuous family entertainment stretches plausability.
