Description
"The great Leslie Bricusse brings us this musical adaptation of Hugh Lofting's delightful series of children's books, Doctor Dolittle (1967), with Rex Harrison starring as the eponymous fellow who famously has the ability to "talk to the animals." Samantha Eggar, Anthony Newley, and Richard Attenborough co-star; Richard Fleischer (20,000 Leagues Under the Sea) directs; but the real fascinators here are the animals, some real, some fantastical."--Container....
