Trivia:
This movie is based on the Newbery Award-winning book "Island of the Blue Dolphins" by Scott O'Dell. The book is based on the true story of a woman left behind on the Channel Islands by missionaries in the early 1800s. She lived alone on the one of the islands for 18 years and died of dysentery seven weeks after she was "rescued" and brought to the mainland. She is buried in the graveyard of the Santa Barbara Mission in California. more

loved it, 22 March 2004
Author: leilagenie from Phoenix, AZ

I remember seeing this movie when I was in grade school back in the 70's. Our whole class would get excited, as it was an annual film we would be shone. We loved it. What really attracted us about this movie was the fact that the girl survives on her own and deals with tragedy, but is able to surmount her difficulties. We saw her as strong and independent - an enormous improvement on Disney's Pocahontas who didn't even cast her character in the correct age she was when she met John Smith. It's amazing that a film that has such a strong female character who is developed in a positive manner even made it to film back in the 60's. I definitely recommend it.
