    Namu, the Killer Whale - Wikipedia
    Namu, the Killer Whale is a 1966 American film about a "killer whale" being studied by a local marine biologist after the murder of his mate and initially feared by local townspeople. Hank Donner is a marine biologist camping and studying the underwater fauna near a Northwest Pacific fishing town. One day, while Hank and his local assistant Deke study a pod of grey whales swimming past the cove where they have set up camp, they witness a pair of fishermen, Joe Clausen and Burt, shooting at a passing group of killer whales. A female is fatally wounded and drifts into the cove, where she beaches and dies. Her mate remains near the carcass, mourning; Clausen and Burt insist on killing him, but Hank manages to send them off.

    Namu was a male orca unintentionally captured in 1965 from the C1 Pod of the northern resident community. He was one of the world’s first captive orcas and the first to be put on public display. The whale was sold for $8,000 to Ted Griffin, a Seattle aquarium owner, and became a waterfront attraction. Namu was the first captive orca to perform with a human in the water and was the subject of much media attention, including a starring role in the 1966 film Namu, the Killer Whale.

    Is Namu the killer whale a good movie?
    Watch Namu, the Killer Whale with a subscription on Prime Video, rent on Fandango at Home, or buy on Fandango at Home. 1960s whale adventure has some peril, but teaches tolerance. I found it to be a whale of a film, a superior children's film that adults might also enjoy. Page 1 of 2, 4 total items.
