(N.-pl.): Apjac Productions. [ii] 163 leaves, printed rectos (front side) only. The final script, dated July 5, 1967. The live-action, animal-filled musical starred Rex Harrison and Samantha Eggar and was directed by Richard Fleischer.

The film was something of a financial disaster, going 300% over budget, but in your cataloguer's opinion, the movie has its charms. He well remembers watching it many times in television re-runs in the 1970s.

The film was based on the character John Dolittle, a physician who could talk with animals, featured in a series of books first published in 1920. ISBN: 281AIB1041128.

Cape Town, South Africa: University of Capetown Press, 1996. 383 pages. 9 by 11-1/2 inches. Illustrated through out. An important museum exhibition monograph.

Skotnes, an art professor and book artist, curated a major exhibition about the San, the "Bushmen" of South Africa. The intent of the exhibit at the South African National Gallery was to critique the previous portrayal of the San people in museums and in print. The exhibit drew considerable criticism as many visitors and scholars felt that showing earlier, racist depictions was more harmful than explanatory. See, for example, the extensive commentary on the exhibition in Cultural Tourism and Identity: Rethinking Indigeneity, edited by Keyan G. Tomaselli; San Representation: Politics, Practice and Possibilities, edited by Keyan Tomaselli; and Images and Empires: Visuality in Colonial and Postcolonial Africa, edited by Paul S. Landau.
