The 5000 Fingers of Dr. T.
In theory, Parental Advisory stickers and ratings system are meant to protect children from prurient and upsetting content designed to warp young minds into mush. Clearly, they missed the mark with this dose of nightmare fuel, the Stanley Kramer-produced live-action Dr. Seuss-penned musical fantasia, THE 5,000 FINGERS OF DR. T. Originally conceived as a parable to post-war fascism, DR. T finds young music enthusiast Bart pitted in a dream realm against the eponymous taskmaster who has designs to have 500 boys play his multi-keyed piano. (Jake Isgar)

About The 5000 Fingers of Dr. T.
Young Bart Collins lives with his widowed mother Heloise. The major blight on Bart's existence is the hated piano lessons he is forced to endure under the tutelage of the autocratic Dr. Terwilliker. Bart feels that his mother has fallen under Terwilliker's sinister influence, and gripes to visiting plumber August Zabladowski, without much result. While grimly hammering away at his lessons, Bart dozes off and enters a fantastical musical dream.
