DVD - Doctor Dolittle
|
Rating:  -
Can't go wrong with the classics. They are classics for a reason. Perfect for animal lovers and kids. Very none scary and no violance movie for the whole family.

This is not Eddie Murphy's Doctor Dolittle! Its a step back to a simpler time. One of our old family favorites. My daughter wants to be a vet and absolutely loves this movie! She loves the music, the animals and, of course, Doctor Dolittle! Its a great family movie.

I loved this movie as a child. I bought it today and it still holds its own, full of fantasy and charm. Rex Harrison is the perfect Dr Dolittle,taking a bit of the personality in his role as Professor Higgens from My Fair Lady. Anthony Newley is wonderful as Dolittles friend. Samantha Eggar is simply beautiful as Dolittles love interest or I should say her adoration for the very focused and obsessed Dr.
Eddy Murphy's more recent remake was fun, but I truly love this gentle and fun movie it is a true classic. I highly recomend it

It was good to meet 'Doctor Doolittle' again after forty years, a typical 'roadshow' musical film of its day and one which did not deserve the fate it received when it was first shown. Generally speaking, however, the structure of successful stage shows ('My Fair Lady', 'Oliver', 'Hello Dolly' etc), lent themselves better to lengthy screen adaptation than the 'original' movie musicals of the period of which this is a good example - another being the even more ill-fated 'Star!'. 'Dr Dolittle' would have been more effective shorter, without an interval and quite so many sentimental songs.
The acting from Rex Harrison and company is good and production qualities are terrific: beautiful settings, special effects and period costumes which make the most of the wide screen, whilst the artwork for the opening credits is delightful. Leslie Bricusse's catchy tunes and clever lyrics stand up well and are on a different level to his book which lacks shape and wit and only intermittently takes off - one is too aware of the padding. Only the eponymous doctor himself is developed as a well-rounded character and, even then, the part simply asks Rex Harrison to reprise his Professor Higgins persona, albeit with a softer heart. It is hard to accept his 'romance' with the ravishing Samantha Eggar, looking forty years his junior, who gamely tries to breathe life into Emma Fairfax.
Anthony Newley is rather wasted, but nasally belts his numbers as if they are all hits - which, admittedly one or two almost became. Richard Attenborough brings some much needed vitality into the picture with his incredulous Circus owner and there is a nice cameo from Peter Bull as an unpleasant JP. All the animals are appropriately cute and brilliantly handled.
Altogether, pleasant enough, but I was off to put on the kettle after about ninety minutes.

I am very happy with my purchase of this DVD from Amazon. The price was reasonable, it got delivered relatively quickly and the quality of the product is great.
