Right up there with "Mary Poppins"
3 July 2020
A fabulously entertaining film with Dick Van Dyke and Sally Ann Howes. Lionel Jeffries is hilarious as Grandpa Potts. Gert Frobe (Goldfinger) was dubbed in English, as his accent was horrible, I understand. "Chitty..." is the "pet name of the marvelous, magical automobile, complete with wings, that is the "hero" and saves them all from a perilous imagined situation, in a mythical kingdom where children are forbidden. A bit long (about 2 hours) for a children's movie, but full of wonderful songs by the talented Sherman Brothers, and very clever "gadgets" brought to life. Sally Ann Howes is so pretty that she lights up the screen. Simply magical children's entertainment!
