Chitty Chitty Bang Bang | Classification: Musical Actors/Actresses: - Benny Hill - Desmond Llewelyn - Dick Van Dyke - Lionel Jeffries - Sally Ann Howes Truly scrumptious ! Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is one of the best movies ever made. A fun family film, kiddie winkies! This attempt by United Artists to craft its own version of Mary Poppins comes oh so close. The period setting (pre-WWI England), two young kids, Dick van Dyke, and super music by the Sherman Brothers make this seem like a Disney product. However, the somewhat overlong film seems to lack the charm found in Poppins. This may be the result of adult elements subtly worked in, such as the wife-hating Baron and double entendres ("You'll find a slight squeeze on the ... an excellent safety precaution..."). The hook-wielding child catcher character is likely to be downright scary for small children. On the plus side are terrific performances by the lead and supporting characters. You will keep humming the catchy tunes in your head for hours afterwards. The movie also has lots of visual goodies, including some beautiful automobiles. The DVD is disappointing, since widescreen is not available. Despite the shortcomings, this film is worth having, at least on VHS. Great Movie Finally in Widescreen!!! Theyve finally rleased this film in widescreen as they should have done years ago. And for the record this is NOT a DISNEY movie! It was made and released by UNITED ARTISTS.
