I saw Chitty Chitty Bang Bang for the first time yesterday.I remember when I was a kid and this movie would be shown on regular TV nobody in my family wanted to watch it because they didn't like "stupid musicals".Now that I'm a geezer I can watch what I want and if I wanna see a stupid musical,that's what I'm gonna do.C.C.B.B. is actually a funny movie with some good songs,particularly "Doll On A Music Box" and the special effects aren't bad for a movie that was made 54 years ago.Also,any movie with a character named Truly Scrumptious has to be at least kind of good.It's hard to believe that Ian Fleming,the guy who wrote all of those James Bond novels also wrote the children's book Chitty Chitty Bang Bang on which this movie is based.But on second thought,the Chitty car has a lot of the same cool gadgets that 007's cars had in his movies so maybe it's not so weird.
