Like many a children’s tale going back to the Brothers Grimm, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang might initially come across as airy, innocent, and fantastical — it features a singing and dancing Dick Van Dyke in it, after all — but emerged from a background of real-life dangers rather unsuitable for.
Plain and simply, this is one of the best family films ever made. The fact that someone other than Disney made the film seems to have blinded some pundits (e.g., Disney scholar and film critic Leonard Maltin) to its many and varied charms. For 'Chitty,' in fact, originated in the book by James Bond creator Ian Fleming and, horror of horrors, was produced outside Hollywood by Albert Broccoli, the man behind the successful Bond film series. Yet, a closer look at the credits reveals the presence of the same musical composers, the much-heralded Sherman Brothers and Irwin Kostal, who could do no wrong when they wrote for Disney, but somehow left their talent behind when they signed on with Mr.
(Note Maltin's comment in his 2007 film guide that the film's score is 'forgettable.' ) The same apparently happened with the choreographers Dee Dee Wood and Marc Breaux, who are universally acclaimed for their work on 'Mary Poppins,' but ignored, at least by Maltin, for the snappy and often elaborate routines in 'Chitty.'
In fact, the songs, background music and dances here are as good or better than anything in Disney and often actually advance the plot, rather than grinding it to a halt in the more customary way. A case in point is Caractacus' 'Old Bamboo' song and dance routine, which provides not only an instantly memorable tune (and dance), but also the financial means to save Chitty from the scrap heap. The cast itself is nothing short of superb, with American comic actor Dick Van Dyke wisely eschewing any attempt at an English accent, something many of us wish he had done a few years earlier in 'Poppins.'
