A White guy playing Doctor Dolittle? Why Eddie Murphy isn't playing this role? mike255 Apr 19, 23:41

Why is anyone playing it? That horse has been beaten to death. {nm} leo21 Apr 20, 00:20

Animal cruelty analogies is exactly why we need Doctor Dolittle. {nm} diamondman56 Apr 20, 03:20

Also, you do realize a white guy (Rex Harrison) played Dr. Dolittle in the 1967 original, right? {nm} PARAXFund Apr 20, 00:33

I'd quite like to see a film about the making of the 1967 original RufusS Apr 20, 06:01

That does sound super interesting! {nm} PARAXFund Apr 20, 09:26

Read Pictures at a Revolution by Mark Harris. that production is discussed at decent length there. Great book. {nm} goodvibe61 Apr 20, 09:55

Thanks. {nm} RufusS Apr 21, 03:23

The locals obviously didn't like it! But just for the record, stop with presuming a film was the"original". The original tale was a book! {nm} ladybegood Apr 20, 09:55

Oh, well excuse me! Don't be THAT person. And no one is confused in what is being referred to. If we were having PARAXFund Apr 20, 10:04

But it was OK for you to point out that the 1867 "original" was with Rex Harrison, to effect. One rule for you and another for anyone else? {nm} ladybegood Apr 20, 11:40

No, you missed the point. The "original" refers to the original film. Not a book. Regardless of a book, the first film, PARAXFund Apr 20, 12:22

The original role was played by Rex Harrison (a white Brit) back in 1967. And, I agree this horse has been beaten to death. {nm} pquicio Apr 20, 10:07
