Cat in a Hat

I THINK there was a movie called 'The 5000 Fingers of Dr T.' which I believe was based on a story by 'Dr Seuss'. It was a weird black and white affair made in the 1950s...

I think the story was accredited to 'T Geissler' which I think is the real name of Dr S. But I may be wrong!

The film was made in 1953 and was in color according to the internet movie data base #:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0045464/

Writing was by Dr Seuss and film had several titles :

Crazy Music (1953) (reissue title)

Dr. Seuss' 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T (1953) (video title)

Five-Thousand Fingers of Dr. T., The (1953) (USA) (alternative spelling)

Looks kind of cool, may have to get a copy
