50th Anniversary of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
We'll be showing this extravagant musical based on "JAMES BOND" creator Ian Fleming's only children's novel, on the 50th anniversary of its original release date in 1968. Caractacus Potts (Dick Van Dyke) is an eccentric inventor, widower and family man who invents a magical car that can float and fly in addition to the usual road travel. The evil Baron Bombast (Gert Frobe) tries to steal the car and the inventor, but he grabs Potts' eccentric father (Lionel Jeffries) by mistake. Soon the family and a candy heir named Truly Scrumptious are off to rescue grandpa, who still believes he is in the British Army fighting in India. They fly to a fantasy land where all children are jailed, and the adults must rescue the children to insure a safe family reunion. British comedy legend Benny Hill plays the role of the Toymaker. Eleven songs are presented by Robert and Richard Sherman, who provided the memorable music for another Van Dyke film, 'Mary Poppins.' "About the best two-hour children's movie you could hope for." - Roger Ebert
