From the mind of Dr. Seuss, The 5000 Fingers of Dr. T. is one of those movies I’ve heard about for decades, but hadn’t gotten around to seeing. TCM has made it possible for me to correct this omission, and it’s a visual feast!
Hans Conried is perfect as the comically maniacal Dr. T. Tommy Rettig, who was Lassie’s pal on TV before Jon Provost, carries the narrative of the movie. It’s a musical, and I enjoyed the songs, but its fantastic cartoon-like images, beautifully restored in HD, are the big draw for me.
I never heard of it. Those super high-res, color-saturated, psychedelic images are too intriguing to pass up. Gotta see this!
I may watch it again, just because of the terrific color in your stills
