This adaptation of the Hugh Lofting series for some reason starts out with a comical Irishman, as if we have to "meet" the doctor through him.  At least the animals are kind of cute and the scenery is nice.  Richard Fleischer directed.

At least the '30s version got Cleo onscreen relatively quickly.  This version spends five minutes on the overture and then opening credits, followed by a heck of a lot of Julius Caesar (Rex Harrison).  So ironically, I can't tag Elizabeth Taylor or anyone else who shows up after the first quarter-hour.  Joseph L. Mankiewicz directed, and this is based on various books.
