Hello Down There (re-released in 1974 as Sub-A-Dub-Dub) is a 1969 American comedy-adventure film from Paramount Pictures, produced by George Sherman and Ivan Tors, directed Jack Arnold and Ricou Browning (underwater sequences), and starring Tony Randall and Janet Leigh. The screenplay was written by John McGreevey and Frank Telford. Its 1974 re-release was part of the "Paramount Family Matinee" series.

Fred Miller (Tony Randall) must prove that his new design for an underwater home is viable by convincing his family to live in it for 30 days. His son and daughter (Gary Tigerman and Kay Cole) are members of an emerging pop rock band (Richard Dreyfuss and Lou Wagner) whom they invite to live with them during the experiment. Their temporary home, which Miller dubs the "Green Onion," is 90 feet below the surface of the ocean and is filled with super-modern appliances and amenities for house-wife Vivian (Janet Leigh), all designed by Miller. A hole in the floor provides direct access to and from the sea.

The group are soon joined by a live-in seal named Gladys and a pair of dolphins (Duke and Duchess), which stay close at hand and fend off unwanted sharks. They are confronted by many obstacles including a rival designer (Ken Berry) from Undersea Development, Inc. who begins to cause problems.[1]
