Description
Product Description Classic musical based on Hugh Lofting's books about a 19th century veterinary surgeon. Doctor Dolittle (Rex Harrison), an expert in animal languages, finds that his ability to talk to the animals puts him into a mental asylum. He manages to escape and begins a journey in search of the great pink sea snail in the South Seas. The film won two Academy Awards for Best Special Effects and Best Music, Song ('Talk to the Animals'). From .co.uk Doctor Doolittle was an expensive 1967 movie that nearly wiped out the studio (20th Century-Fox) that made it, owing to public apathy. It doesn't engender much more excitement today. Rex Harrison still looks lost in the overblown production, the songs are still awful (except "Talk to the Animals", of course), the story of one man's communication with beasts devoid of enchantment. Director Richard Fleischer (The Vikings) certainly shares in the blame. --Tom Keogh
