Movie Reviews of Doctor Dolittle
Movie Review: good family fun
Summary: 4 Stars
"Doctor Dolittle" was Twentieth Century-Fox's follow-up to
"The Sound Of Music",and although it isn't in the same league as that Oscar-winning Julie Andrews classic,this delightful
family film is certainly much better than it's been given credit for.The lavish production is beautiful,the songs are
wonderful(I especially like "Fabulous Places" and "Something In Your Smile"),and the cast is appealing.Rex Harrison gives one of his most delightful performances,and he is well supported by Samantha Eggar,Anthony Newley,and young William Dix.The film is too long at two and a half hours plus intermission,but director
Richard Fleischer and screenwriter/songwriter Leslie Bricusse keep it moving along smoothly and swiftly,with a nice sense of humor and a light touch.
"Doctor Dolitlle" is a much better film than the Fox/Andrews/Wise "Music" follow-up "Star!".It provides an evening of good fun for the entire family.
Movie Review: Dr. Dolittle
Summary: 4 Stars
The product was protected well as wrapped, arrived in perfect condition, and exactly as described, however, there was a problem with delivery, and it arrived later than expected. The tracking number website offered no information, other than the fact that the package had been scanned in Portland, OR, had left Portland on 12/22 and was in transit. That info did not change right up to the day that it showed up in my mailbox. When I contacted the seller, they were quick in response, and apologized for the inconvenience, however, they stated that there was nothing they could do at that time, and that I should please let them know if I got any further informatiob from the tracking number. I would buy from them again, but only on the guarantee that the item would be replaced if lost in the mail. They do offer guarantees, but this was the only item in stock, apparently.Movie Review: DOCTOR DOLITTLE in TODD-AO
Summary: 4 Stars
I read in THE 70MM NEWSLETTER that FOX has struck a new TODD-AO print of DOCTOR DOLITTLE. I saw it when it first came out in 1967 and the TODD-AO image was spectacular. It would be nice to see a new 70mm dvd transfer instead of the current 35mm print that is on dvd now. Fox did a great job with their TODD-AO dvd of HELLO DOLLY.Movie Review: An all time family favourite
Summary: 4 Stars
I saw this movie when I was fairly young, it was on TV and we taped it, then some how managed to loose the tape as usually happens with your favourite movies. It's always been a movie that's stuck in my mind and if you ask me, although it's long, it's a much better movie than either of the new ones with Eddie Murphy.Movie Review: 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!
