It was the first Hollywood film shot in Greece

Boy on a Dolphin roamed around television for decades as a washed-out, worn color movie, a condition that failed to take advantage of all the money 20th Century Fox spent filming it on location in the beautiful Mediterranean

 The question for quite a while was whether decent film elements still existed for it, because though it had been a major production effort from Fox back in 1957, and it featured one of the true international actresses of Hollywood early in her career in her first major English-speaking role, nonetheless the title has slipped into unimportance and had yet to have a decent presentation on DVD or HD, but in 2016 a Blu-Ray restored version came out
