You listed all the human stars, but not the name of the animal for whom the film was titled. The dolphin actor was Mitzie, by the way.

That music will be stuck in my head for the rest of the evening now. I don't mind one bit. I liked the movie and the TV show back in the day.

Flipper, Flipper, lives in a world full of wonder, flying there under, under the sea. I loved that t.v. show.

Awkward question; the "name" star?! I got it correct but the dolphin is the star of the movie and the TV show!

Ian MacBrown, Sounds like me. Maybe we should answer a couple of old ones to warm up first.
