I remember two great things about BOY ON A DOLPHIN seeing it when it first came out.....
And while the movie doesn't hold up so well, they do.

There use to be a program on called "The Million Dollar Movie" and the same movie played every night at 8:00 p.m., twice on Saturday and twice on Sunday. Every week brought a new movie. I had always been a movie fan but this really got me into viewing every nuance. I saw movies that I probably would have never seen otherwise, and often watched them all nine times they were on in a week. Great movies like Damn Yankees, The Searchers, alot of old westerns and so many more. One in particular was Boy on a Dolphin that I thought was so great when I was a kid but when watching it years later, while it had some nostalgic moments for me, the film was not as great as I remembered it. Ah...those were the good ol' days.
