I too saw this movie only once, at age 9 in 1978. Maybe twice, but it still lingers in my mind ever since. As a young boy, I thought Connie Selleca was beautiful, an angel in fact. Well, maybe more of a mermaid or sea nymph here. The giant turtle in the movie was pretty wild since Selleca as Jenny and her boyhood friend found this turtle, kept it as a pet I think, then released it to the sea where it grew to this enormous size. I think there was some mad scientist that genetically engineered the turtle to grow so big but I'm not sure. Typically, Carl Weathers was in the movie and he dies by being pulled under water by the giant turtle an drowning as he is attached to the turtle by a rope around his leg. It was a tragic love story. Pretty cheesy, but I'll give it a 7 for staying in my find for 30 years. Oh, the scientific name of a giant turtle is Archelon Ischyros.
