(June 2008) Ranked #9 on the American Film Institute's list of the 10 greatest films in the genre "Courtroom Drama".
"The dingo ate my baby!" is never said in the film; it was said in the Seinfeld episode Seinfeld: The Stranded (1991) and became a national catchphrase. The phrase is famously uttered twice by Julia Louis Dreyfuss's character (Elaine Bennett).
Many Australians were critical of the movie when it was released (a few months after Lindy Chamberlain Creighton's release from prison), still maintaining their conviction that she wasn't innocent. When the film is discussed in Retro Report: "A Dingo's Got My Baby": Trial by Media (2014), there are clips presenting reactions from Australian audiences.
Based on a real-life incident that occurred near Ayers Rock (now Uluru), Central Australia. On the night of August 17, 1980, nine-week-old Azaria Chamberlain disappeared from the family tent during a camping trip. Lindy Chamberlain (Lindy Chamberlain Creighton) saw a dingo leaving the tent, and cried, "the dingo's got my baby!"
The Australian title for this movie, "Evil Angels", was not used in the United States. Two years after Meryl Streep made this film, she made Postcards from the Edge (1990), in which many scenes occur on film sets. In one of those on-set scenes, a crew member is wearing a T-shirt that says "Evil Angels".
"Lindy Chamberlain: The dingo's got my baby!"
"Lindy Chamberlain: I'm told, "Don't talk like you normally talk. Watch how you hold your mouth. You look too sour and crabby. Don't get angry. Don't ask too many questions, or they think you're trying to be smart. And never, never, never laugh or you're an uncaring bitch." Well, I can't cry to order, and I won't be squashed into some dumb act for the public... or for you."
