Viewing Notes

Caught the 1967 Doctor Dolittle on Retroplex. One not seen since my childhood and one I’ve always enjoyed (big fan of the Dr. Dolittle books). this movie is so great and so comical. Also features Geoffery Holder which I never would’ve picked up on as a kid. After tweeting my viewing was recommended to check out Mark Harris’ “Pictures at a Revolution?” [Goes into t/making of Dr. Doolittle (wasn’t pretty).] As well as John Gregory Dunne’s “The Studio” [also focuses on “Dr. Doolittle.” Written as DD was in production.] thank Mel for those and I want to check those out.
