Auction History Result 9z189 DAY OF THE DOLPHIN presskit '73 George C. Scott & Trish Van Devere, directed by Mike Nichols Date Sold 1/31/2010 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Presskit (measures approximately 9" x 11 1/2"; contains 8 supplements, and 15 stills) (Learn More) The Day of the Dolphin, the 1973 Mike Nichols science fiction (sci-fi) scuba diving talking-to-animals fantasy thriller ("The most amazing outdoor adventure ever filmed! Two years in the making! Awesome excitement!"; "'A spine-tingling tale that might just come true.'"; "Unwittingly, he trained a dolphin to kill the President of the United States."; "Based on a novel by Robert Merle"; "Screenplay by Buck Henry", who also provided the human voice for the dolphins; about a scientist whose talking dolphins are kidnapped so they can be used in an assassination attempt!) starring George C. Scott, Trish Van Devere, Paul Sorvino, Fritz Weaver, and Jon Korkes. Note that Roman Polanski was set to direct this movie in August of 1969, and he had previously written a screenplay, based on Robert Merle's novel. But he was in London looking for a location to film the movie at, when he received word that his pregnant wife Sharon Tate had been murdered by the Manson family on August 9, 1969, and he abandoned the movie. Four years later, Mike Nichols needed to direct one more movie to fulfill his 4-picture contract with producer Joseph Levine, and he made this movie, and Buck Henry wrote a new screenplay. One can only imagine how different the Polanski version of this movie would have been from the Nichols/Henry version! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that we have taken a picture of the cover of the presskit and four of the stills (less than four if the presskit has less than four stills, of course). We have noted if the presskit contains any supplements, but we do not picture them. All of the presskits are sealed and ready to be sent, and we cannot answer any questions about the contents, especially about what any stills we may have not pictured show. REMEMBER TO LOOK AT THE TOP OF THIS AUCTION TO SEE HOW MANY STILLS ARE INCLUDED WITH THIS PRESSKIT, BECAUSE WE NEVER PICTURE MORE THAN FOUR OF THEM (and we pretty much picked four stills at random). Condition: very good to fine. Note that the vast majority of the presskits we are auctioning this week were carefully stored away for many years, and the stills are usually in really excellent condition. Sometimes the folder that contains the stills has some wear on it, and you should be able to see that in our super-sized image. We give an overall condition grade to each presskit, but remember that almost all of the stills are in excellent condition. Learn More about condition grades
