Dr. Dolittle (1967) - Richard Fleischer

Ah poo, these things went on too long. Another bloated craptacular over the top musical that makes you so glad that Hollywood went bankrupt. Rex Harrison is playing a figure not too different from his professor in My Fair Lady, and the songs here are god awfully bad. Too much farce just makes you cringe as everything was just overdone here. Oh well this crap passed for entertainment. It was later remade to better financial success with Eddie Murphy, and having not seen that I can't offer my opinion on whether or not it was an improvement, but I can't imagine it being hard to top.

*Dr. Dolittle won for best song and best visual effects. It was nominated for best picture, best adapted score, best art direction, best cinematography, best editing, best sound, best original score, and best score. (how this had so many best score nominations is beyond me)
