Hello Down There

Starring: Tony Randall, Janet Leigh, Jim Backus, et al.

When an inventor (Tony Randall) needs human guinea pigs to test his experimental undersea dream home, h e packs up his wife (Janet Leigh), his kids and their rock and roll band (featuring Richard Dreyfuss) and takes the plunge. While this average-if extended-family adapts to life on the ocean floor, the band must find a way to get its groovy new single into the hands of a top record producer before it's too late. Our aquanauts are in for even more deep trouble when greedy prospectors, hungry sharks, a hurricane and a battle-ready U.S. Navy threaten to turn their happy underwater home into a real bummer!

Customer Reviews

Richard Dreyfuss and sharks underwater before “Jaws”

Research Scientist Fred Miller (Tony Randall) invents the underwater house of the future. His boss, T.R. Hollister (Jim Backus), thinks it was a waste of money. So, to save his job and commit to secrecy, Fred convinces his “typical” family to live there for 30 days. And we know what happens when a typical family gets stuck together for 30 days anywhere. The film is a tad dated, and you must slog through hokey parts. We hear sixties bubblegum. There is an exceptional amount of slapstick fillers. However, it is fun to see actors before they were fully formed, and those actors who are not with us anymore. A partial list of actors: Tony Randall Janet Leigh Jim Backus Ken Berry Charlotte Rae Richard Dreyfuss Arnold Stang Harvey Lembeck - Beach Party (1963) - Eric Von Zipper One day, we may see a revival of Fluffy (1965) with Tony Randall and Shirley Jones. I was lucky enough to get a copy from the net.
