Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (1968)
Director: Ken Hughes
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Nauseatingly cute musical whimsy about an inventor (creations courtesy of Rowland Emmett) and his wonderful magic car. Ken Adam's sets are inventive, but the special effects are shoddy, the songs instantly forgettable, and the leisurely length an exquisite torture.Author: TM
