Truly Scrumptious :revolving_hearts:

This is the first time I've rewatched this since it was my favorite movie when I was 5. It's better than I remembered.

(Though I had no idea it was 2 ½ hours long and had an intermission!? Was I really that patient at 5? I was also today years old when I learned the Vulgaria storyline (which makes up ¾s of the movie) is a fictional embedded narrative that Potts makes up for his children and not the original plotline. Also, the Child Catcher scared me to death for YEARS.)

The Chitty Chitty Bang Bang / James Bond connection:
- The original book was a children's story written by Ian Fleming for his son. (Fleming is the creator and writer of the James Bond books).
- The film is produced by Albert R Broccoli, who co-produced the Bond films series.
- One of the supporting actors (in addition to Benny Hill) is Gert Fröbe, who also played Auric Goldfinger in the movie Goldfinger.
- Previously Ken Hughes, the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang director, directed the original Casino Royale, a spoof of the James Bond character.
- Ken Hughes also co-wrore the screenplay of Fleming's book with...Roald Dahl.

Seen on Tubi.
