Composer/screenwriter Leslie Bricusse brings us this musical comedy adaptation of Hugh Lofting’s delightful series of children’s books, Doctor Dolittle (1967), with Rex Harrison (Cleopatra) starring as the eponymous fellow who famously has the ability to “talk to the animals.”

Samantha Eggar (The Brood), Anthony Newley, and Richard Attenborough (Jurassic Park), co-star; Richard Fleischer (The Boston Strangler) directs; but the real fascinators here are the animals, some real, some fantastical.
