Flipper at the drive-in

Yep, we saw Flipper at the drive-in movie theater. All of us piled into that green 1955 Chevy in the summer of 1964 to watch a movie about a kid and a friendly dolphin. We actually if I remember right, saw a double feature of two Flipper movies. The second one had come out in the spring and the new TV series was getting ready to premier in the coming fall season of 1964. Flipper mania.

The first movie had Chuck Connors as the father and a crabby fisherman who somehow changed into Brian Kieth as a nice park ranger. And someone else in the TV show.
