This morning I was reinstalling one of my Blu-ray players, and I put in the DVD of DOCTOR DOLITTLE (1967 musical version) to check the upconversion and sound.
It struck me that even though this was a fairly early DVD release, this DVD still holds up beautifully and is a simply gorgeous transfer. I don't know if it's the Todd-AO photography or what, but I can't WAIT for this to one day be available in high definition.
I also got sucked into the movie, too. Was just going to watch Newley's "My Friend the Doctor" and just sat there watching "The Vegeterian," "Talk to the Animals," and "At the Crossroads" along with the dialogue scenes between them. The film may be too long and sprawl a bit, but I think I find it more accomplished and entertaining now than I did when it was first released.
