Rating:  - Doctor Do Little
"Doctor Dolittle" was,amazingly,a nominee for Best Picture in 1967. Rex Harrison was a talented actor in his own right,spot-on as the professor in "My Fair Lady" opposite a luminous Audrey Hepburn,and equally great as Julius Caesar in the campfest "Cleopatra" with Liz Taylor. "Doctor Dolittle" shows the good professor out of place with the animals.
"Doctor Dolittle" is an interminable musical. Harrison is cast as the good doctor who can "talk to the animals" (he really does talk,in his talk-singing style) He's in search of a giant pink snail. Some of the special effects are truly psychedelic. Unfortunately, the soundtrack is forgettable and the musical plods through its paces. Doctor Dolittle does little. Not much happens. You're better off with Lassie, National Velvet, and even Flipper.
Rating:  - Memories
The old Doctor Doolittle, the one I watched as child. Bought it for my 3 and 4 y/o, but they wouldn't sit through it. I still enjoy it.
Rating:  - Doctor Dolittle is a classic!
I was so glad that we were able to purchase this early version of the story of Doctor Dolittle. Rex Harrison is marvelous in the role. The story line is quaint. Costuming is wonderful. My 6-year old daughter enjoyed it as much as I remembered loving it!
Rating: - very good
I loved this movie for a long time and when I saw it on sale I just had to get it.
Rating: - Dr. Doolittle
Everyone needs a carefree, smiling respite once in a while and this fits the bill. The remakes of this movie are very well done but there is nothing like the original.
