The characters are wonderfully melodramatic, it’s like a pantomime. I absolutely adore this film and the songs. Most of the movie is a dramatic retelling of Caractacus’s story that he tells the trio about their noisy family car, a country named Vulgaria, and the evil Baron Bomburst. When his young children meet Truly Scrumptious, who is the daughter of a sweet manufacturer, she practically becomes part of the family and joins them on adventures. But the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang locations are quirky, gorgeous, and severely wanderlust-inducing.Ĭhitty Chitty Bang Bang (1968) follows the inventor and widower, Caractacus Potts (Dick Van Dyke). Aside from The Sound of Music (1965), of course. Please read the disclaimer here.Ĭhitty Chitty Bang Bang is one of the only 1960s movie musicals that has a scrumptious sing-a-long soundtrack and fairytale filming locations.
