I too, saw this movie as a kid, and will never forget Tony Randall warding off sharks with those balloons. I do, from time to time, still have the "Little Goldfish" song running through my head. All I remember is the refrain, but would love to hear it again. So, any word of a DVD of this movie? I really can't believe that there isn't one of this movie. I have seen so many rotten movies in the discount bargain bin at Wal-Mart, that "Hello Down There" should be released. Just the name recognition of the stars in this movie should be enough for some company to release it. As my peer said in the other comment, Richard Dreyfuss is a draw, so is Tony Randall. Lets get with it people, there should be a release of this classic film showing how culture in the late 60's looked those off us NOT on acid! We need this movie!

It's a goofy lightweight comedy. Mostly it's unremarkable, the kind of movie I'd give a 5 score out of 10. But the underwater scenes, especially the ones with the dolphins, are kind of fun; and it's also kind of fun to see Roddy McDowell, Jim Backus, and Ken Berry hamming it up.There are several groovy 60's pop music songs, the costumes and haircuts are extremely 60's, and the 60's slang is so silly I wonder if they made up half of it. Merv Griffin appears in a cameo as himself. Tony Randall even sings one song!You will probably enjoy seeing it once but you probably won't want to buy a copy. See it sometime when you are in the mood for a large dose of the 1960's.

Sigh. I really loved this movie as a kid!! It aired once on the Family Channel (now it's PAX) and then I lost the VHS or taped over it entirely. I recently found a really crappy version on Videobeat.com that is so fuzzy that it's not even worth watching it. It really isn't worth the price you pay for it either as some guy just recorded it from his own VHS recording so you know how that goes. But if you are really desperate like I was to hear "GLUB" again and to relive some happier times, then try Videobeat.com. I wish they would release this movie on DVD so that everyone can share the magic of Glub and the house under the sea. Sure, the acting is campy and the story line is lame, but the music makes it much better (even though they are lip singing and not even playing their instruments). Plus, you gotta love a Richard Dreyfuss film!

A 60's film with family values, suspense, corporate greed and comedy. Showcasing the Green Onion underwater home, two mini-subs, and with the exception of Merv Griffin and his cameo appearance, a cast of actresses and actors, many years before many of them became famous in the movies.
