Doctor Dolittle

by Donna Gustafson | Posted on Jun. 22, 2001

This musical adaptation of Hugh Lofting's classic stories brings to life the world of Doctor John Dolittle (played by Rex Harrison), a 19th century English physician who throws away his family practice to pursue his true interest--veterinary medicine. With a little help from his pet parrot, the doctor is soon conversing with animals of every species. Get the movie review and more. »
