Namu, the Killer Whale
1966 · Film · 89 min
Directed by László Benedek
Based on the amazing true story of a marine biologist (Robert Lansing) who befriends a six-ton Orcawhale, this "honest, fascinating and vigorously wholesome film" (Citizen-News) is heartwarming fun for the whole family. Like all close pals, Hank (Lansing) and Namu love spending time together. Whether sharing a morning swim or soaking up the afternoon sun, these two are virtually inseparable. Trouble is, the local fishermen mistakenly think that Namu is a threat. Racing against time, Hank must enlist the help of a young widow and her daughter to save Namu and prove that he's a gentle giant!

Having been there for the collapse, no that is not how the regime collapsed. It was 20 somethings pushing for concessions on the prices of bread and powdered milk and the powers that be caving into demands and then deciding that they would be better off without communism and going further than any of the protestors expected.
This movie was made in 1967: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whale_(film) and was seen by 20% of the population of the country at the time. This is not the product of a society where no one had any idea what was wrong and how it could be fixed.
