The Fall of Old Hollywood: Doctor Dolittle (1967)

We've seen Old Hollywood at its best, now let's see it at its worst. Recall how last episode was a splashy Old Hollywood Musical? Well, this episode is basically the same thing except instead of a delightful masterpiece, it’s a godawful film that bankrupted a studio and helped push the entire movie biz in a different direction. That’s right friends, we’re talking about arguably the weakest nominee for Best Picture of all time: Doctor Dolittle! Topics include: the factors contributing to New Hollywood's emergence, Rex Harrison and his *ahem* personality, and Anthony Newley impressions.
