Fantasmagorical!

Based on the novel written by James Bond creator Ian Flemming, this delightful fantasy charts the journey into the mysteriously childless world of Vulgaria by Caractacus Potts, his two children, Truly Scrumptious and super car Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

I think the main thing that makes this film work so well is that it has a little of everything to make a successful family movie. Catchy tunes at every turn, a fairy tale kingdom awash with colour, bonkers technology, and a little slice of wickedness involving class distinction. Split very much into two halves, Chitty at its core is really about forming a complete family. We are introduced to Caracatus (Dick Van Dyke) who is a single father, who is doing his best to raise his two children with moral fortitude. It’s through the children’s love of an old rusty car that Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is born, and after pretty lady Truly Scrumptious (a gorgeous Sally Ann Howes) comes into their lives, all four of them enter the second half of the movie after having firmly capturing the audience’s attention with a firming promise of a family in waiting.

The second half of the picture then whisks us far away into fantasy territory. Vulagaria is ruled by crackers toy obsessive Baron Bomburst (Gert Fröbe in wonderful bacon sandwich mode), he has banned children, and naturally he has his sights set firmly on the magnificence that is Chitty Chitty. Bomburst sends out his child snatcher to nab Caracatus’ kids in the hope of bargaining for the special car. The child snatcher played by Robert Helpman is as iconic as he is terrifying, wonky hat and pointy nose he lures children in with promises of sweets and treacle tarts, he thus became the invader of many a childs poor nightmares for sure.

But this is a family film after all, and sure enough this splendid ride speeds to a joyous finale that is cloaked in colour and feel good eccentricity, yep, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang still works on repeat viewings. 8/10

This was never my favourite musical as child, but as I get older I think I appreciate it more. Sure, it has it’s cheesy moments, but there is genuine chemistry between the characters on display here and coupled with some superbly catchy – and often poignant – lyrics from the Sherman twins, we are presented with a really quite enjoyable fable. The Potts family live in a dilapidated farmhouse. Grandfather (Lionel Jeffries); the well meaning but hopeless inventor of a father “Caractacus” (Dick Van Dyke) and the two children “Jeremy” (Adrian Hall) and “Jemima” (Heather Ripley). Luckily, one day the youngsters are nearly run over by “Truly” (Sally Ann Howes) the daughter of the wealthy confectioner “Lord Scrumptious” (James Robertson Justice). She might just be able to help the father make a few quid from her father with his sweets that double up as pan pipes. Meantime, the family manage to rescue an old rust bucket from the local garage, and lo and behold, enter our eponymous vehicle. It can drive, it can become an aeroplane, an hovercraft – indeed it can do just about everything bar make the tea. It’s a must-have prize for the megalomaniac child-hater “Baron Bomburst” (Gert Fröbe – who really does enter into the spirit of the story), so the family must fight tooth and nail to stop their car, and themselves, falling into his malevolent hands. Ian Fleming demonstrates great imagination with this and Van Dyke shows off his varied skills well and engagingly. Howes over-cooks her singing at times, but the almost 2½ hours this story takes really does fly by. The Oscar winning “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang”; the delightful “Hushabye Mountain”; “Me Ol’ Bamboo” and Jeffries’ enjoyable rendition of “Posh!” as he is gradually drowned in his outhouse all add bundles to this colourful and joyous series of well photographed escapades. Maybe it is wasted on youngsters? It certainly was on me!

Great Comic and Fantasy Film
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang was one of those films from my childhood that I never outgrew. Every song, every outrageous comic moment tattooed itself on my memory and my heart. I love this film. It’s funny, it’s touching and it’s beautifully made. True, it’s not for the cynical or for those who want realism. For those, however, who seek adventure, comedy, great songs and most of all fun this classic 60’s musical delivers it all in great style. A truly fun family film, although very small children may not be able to sit still through the entire movie (even with the Intermission). CCBB will always be at the top of my favourite movie list. Do yourself a favour if you like fun musical comedies and see Dick Van Dyke and Sally Ann Howes do some truly scrumptious work.

Absolute classic!
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is one of those classic films that will never get old. It stars Dick Van Dyke, Sally Ann Howes, Lionel Jeffries, Heather Ripley, and Adrian Hall. The plot centers on a father, his two children, a woman the father likes, and a car the father has invented. The car can float on water, and fly. The cars ability to do these things of course leads to the adventurous aspect of the movie. This movie really does a great job at being funny, very adventurous, musical, and throwing in some romance in too. It has good balance. The whole family will absolutely adore this film, I grew up watching this movie and have always loved it. The musical numbers are highly entertaining, the characters are very likable, the adventure is engaging, and the chemistry between the actors flows effortlessly. I suggest watching this as a family if you have children. It’s just more fun this way. 10/10 for Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
