“MY FAIR LADY “ with Audrey Hepburn would be good for you to get a fancy hat to wear while you watch it!! Ps. You’ll also love the beautiful dresses!!

My childhood just came flooding back..so excited to watch y'all's reaction

Back in the early 70s, when I was just a little kid, our weekends ended with Walt Disney on Sunday nights. When this aired on Disney one Sunday night, my siblings and our Grandparents watched this together. Such memories of a long time ago!

That childcatcher traumatized me as a kid LOL

Little fun fact for you guys, the Actor who played Grandpa was actually a year younger than Dick Van Dyke.

This was the last of the golden era of musicals. They stopped making movies of this kind after the mid 70s.

_A Room With A View_ is a good movie set in the Victorian Era. The missus should love it.

It won a few Oscars, including Best Costume Design.

Sometimes when I'm feeling a little cheeky I call my wife "Choochy Face", she usually rolls her eyes and groans but she also smiles . Every once in a while she will sing back "... and your my teddy bear " 😊

I showed this to my grandsons a year ago or so, they love it.

My favourite part is Sally Ann Howes (Truly Scrumptious) dancing like a music box doll for the Baron and Baronness! The choreography is amazing!

"How was India?" "India? I'll tell you something. I got up this morning and I shot an elephant in my pajamas." "How he ever got in my pajamas, I shall never know." "You've heard it before." Fun Fact: Theatrical movie debut of Heather Ripley. Casting Notes Fact: Lionel Jeffries played Dick Van Dyke's father, despite the fact that Dick Van Dyke is actually six months older than Jeffries. Blink And You'll Miss It Fact: In the scene where Baroness Bomburst (Anna Quayle) is falling into the water you can see the water churning where the helicopter drops the stunt man. Automobile Enthusiast Fact: The production used six cars, one of which was fully functional and roadworthy. The current owner of the Chitty car is Sir Peter Jackson. He could be seen near the WETA Workshop in New Zealand driving cast members of The Hobbit films around in the car while playing the main theme song through a sound system. Music Enthusiast Fact: This is the first non-Disney film to feature songs by Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman. Sally Ann Howes reported that despite the difficulty of the choreography of the song Doll On A Music Box (1968), she was able to film this in one take. he musical number Toy Dance (1968) involved having Dick Van Dyke on a two metre long piece of string and having puppet artists pull him around. In his book Keep Moving: And Other Tips And Truths About Aging (2015), Dick Van Dyke mentioned during the Toot Sweets (1968) segment, at 40 years old, he never bothered to warm up before a dance number. During filming, he felt something pop in his leg. He thought he had merely pulled a muscle, but soon after he couldn't walk without limping. He went to a doctor, who told him his whole body was full of arthritis, and within five years he wouldn't be able to get around at all without a cane or a wheelchair. Van Dyke responded to this prognosis by jumping up and dancing, which astounded the doctor. Almost 50 years later, in his brief role as Mr. Dawes Jr. in Mary Poppins Returns (2018), 92-year-old Van Dyke danced without any assistance.

I sent David and Toni a whole lotta movies in the mail and to try to pick from all of them was really really hard. Of all the ones I sent, I picked 4 movies...I gave them a little bit of info on each movie...giving no spoilers...and I told them they could watch a trailer on them if they wanted to. But, in the end, I left the decision up to them what to watch out of the 4 movies. I told them to surprise me. I actually thought from something Toni said at the last premier, I had figured out which movie it was...but I was wrong. This is a great surprise and I can't wait to talk about it tonight during this premier!! WOO HOO!! I watch this movie at least twice a year...it's one of my favorites. I have two favorite songs in this movie...Hushabye Mountain and Me Ole Bamboo. I've been frantically trying to find a beautiful music box with the song Hushabye Mountain to give to my new Granddaughter Maddi. OH, and I'm an absolute sucker for 🥰Dick Van Dyke😍...I follow him on Facebook. He's still a hoot!!

The Music in the Movie was written by the Sherman Brothers who also wrote the music for Mary Poppins. They also wrote the infamous ear worm "Its a Small World" for the Disney Attraction. Professor Potts played Bert in Mary Poppins and Gert Frobe did play Auric Goldfinger in the Bond film. Ian Fleming based Chitty on a real, very successful racing car from that time period.

I just thought about Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, searched it on youtube and saw that someone's about to watch it for the first time. This is gonna be the first time I've watched it since the early 2000s when I were just a kid, how nostalgic. Great British classic along with Mary Poppins.

Yes that was the actor who played Goldfinger. Another movie she would love is "THEY GREAT RACE" stars Tony Curtis, Jack Lemon, Peter Falk and Natile Wood.

Ha! I said that too, about suggesting "The Great Race". I have loved that movie since I was around 5 years old. My Dad used to let me stay up...late...very late, like 1 AM to watch (way before streaming...kids!), but I always fell asleep waiting for "The Pie Fight and The Montmartre Steps" scenes at the end! Tony Curtis said during the filming of The Great Race, they had the best catering spread of ANY movie in which he worked. Wow!

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ what a fun community you have I had such a good time in the live chat Premier.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang & Smoky were the movies of my childhood. As a child of the 1970’s I scoured the TV Guide every time it arrived looking to see if they were going to be aired. The 3 stations we got on our tv usually showed them 3-4 times a year & I always made a point to watch them. My father was a mechanic & I helped my grandfather whenever he worked on our vehicles so the idea of a car that could float & fly really appealed to my imagination. I even had the Little Golden Book based on the movie.

Finally a movie Toni can enjoy.

I’m giving away old age, but we used to sing the Chitty Chitty bang bang song in music class, when I was in 3rd grade. Of course we replaced the “c” in chitty with an “s”. We thought it was hilarious that we could sing bad words, lol. Good times.

They would have that happen and the movie stopped so you could go get candy, popcorn or perhaps a bathroom break. They did that in older movies. They do that in the Great Race as well

Get your hat and watch The Great Race with Tony Curtis, Natalie Wood, and Jack Lemmon with Peter Falk. It is a 60's film that is set in the time period when women were just being allowed to vote. It is a GREAT comedy of that time frame.

The world got sadder when Richard of the Sherman Brothers passed away last month. They wrote the songbook of our childhoods

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers is another great one, in my book. I love the songs and all the dancing in that movie.

Benny Hill as the toy maker was a real treat.

This is the first movie I saw in a theater. I think I was six and we went with my mom and aunt. I have also sung You're my Chuchy Face to all of my dogs. It wasn't a dream it was a story.

Hi guys wonderful movie. Fun fact, in the dance scene in the factory, the bit where Dick Van Dyke was spinning around on a trolley he actually fell of on an earlier take and sprained a leg muscle. He pushed through and finished the dance scene. If you look carefully as he moves from the trolley you can see him limp.

This was a regular Christmas movie for years during my childhood, it’s so sweet and pure. I love when Truly is a music box with all her jerky clockwork movements and Dick Van Dyke is the puppet hanging on invisible strings. The car looks amazing too, I’ve seen it in at the National Motor Museum, in fact they had the James Bond white car, a Lagonda I think that went underwater with Roger Moore there at the time too.

So shocked to see this Thankyou for reacting to it!!! Literally in my family this and Oliver are our “family movie memories” I grew up on this

This movie was one of the best movies of my childhood. even tho it came out in 1968, even almost 40 years after it came out, 4 year old me was watching it all the time.

Yes!!!!👍 Dick Van Dyke the lead in this was “Bert” in “Mary Poppins “!!!!💕

It's nice to see a movie that was both easy and fun for T

The Great Race 1965 is another great movie with cars of this sort..a fun movie if you haven't watched it yet with a great cast..

Yes, Dick Van Dyke was in Mary Poppins. He also starred in a popular 60s sitcom. After Toni gets her hat and outfit, you can watch Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines (1965), set in the same time period.

Oh wow!!❤ love this movie! And now I'm singing all of the songs!!😁

I was born after many of these classics were made, fortunately as a kid my dad showed me some of them like Mary Poppins or The Sound Of Music, sadly there were others I never knew about until I was an adult, this is one of those. I watched it for the first time as I taught my own kids about Mary Poppins and all that. It’s a great movie, I love it, but it doesn’t hit like the others do, it’s just nostalgia doing its thing, just like Christmas, I still love it but it’s not the same as an adult. See you later for the live stream 👍🏼

Yup. I came here to make that same comment but decided to read through first to see if someone beat me to it. Queen Victoria died in 1901, and her son Edward VII succeeded her. So by 1909 it was well within the Edwardian period.

Long before cable tv this was on every thanksgiving day. 70s/80s...

A fun movie. I recommend the original Dr. Doolittle with Rex Harrison and the musical 'Oliver!'.

The man who sold the car to him (Desmond Lewelyn) played Q the gadget inventor in James Bond films. The actor who played Baron Bomburst (Gert Frobe) also played Goldfinger.

It's not exactly the same music, but it is very similar in style, and undoubtedly, it was a deliberate attempt to create a dazzling dance number that would compare with "Step in Time."

The child catcher is the only thing I remember about this movie, and they are NOT fond memories.

Awww Toni... you're our little Chuchee face!

My favorite movie as a child.

This was so much fun! I saw it as a young kid when it first came out. I suspect I had the coloring book! I think of it as being in the same category as Dr Doolittle. I really didn't remember any of the plot except for the bit about the child-catcher. And of course, the theme song is impossible to forget! What a performer Dick van Dyke is!

Oh boy! This takes me back. Love this movie! You two are awesome! Enjoy cause I sure will.

The reason Albert Brock is involved is because Ian Fleming wrote the book Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

I first saw this at the drive in. It was a special night out and was the first time we kids had ever seen a hamburger. Was also the first time trying an ice cream in a cone !

very fun nostalgia movie... very forgotten classic

My sister and I watched this movie a lot when we were growing up! It's so silly and fun 😄

Ian Fleming; who wrote the James Bond novels, wrote the book this movie is based on.

Oh come on don't be a kill joy This is a magical children's movie

The house is Heatherden Hall - part of Pinewood Studios outside London. The Amazing Mr Blunden (1972) was also shot there as a backdrop along with many other films.

I heard you mention “Mary Poppins “ Isn’t that a beautiful movie??!!!!💕

It's a cute little inside joke that the most humorless character is played by Benny Hill.

One of my all time favorite movies ever.

❤ My Childhood favorite movie.. thank you for your reaction to this ✌️😋❤️

S&M Baroness is always a treat. Yes Truly is very scrumptious. It wasn't until I was an adult I recognized Benny Hill. Definitely a different role. My favorite childhood movie and still one of my favorites

Grandpa Potts was played by Lionel Jeffrey's who was actually 6 months younger than Dick Van Dyke. But Lionel was an excellent director. He made two British classic films. The Railway children 1970 and The Amazing Mr Blunden 1972, both are worth checking out..

Love this movie! But, as a child, the Child Catcher scared the hell out of me!! When you watch a musical, you need to realize...music comes out of nowhere, everyone knows the song and everyone knows the dance. Just smile or laugh and enjoy!!

Appropriate that Desmond Llewellyn is in this, 'Q' from the 007 movies, since this was James Bond creator Ian Flemings only children's novel. BTW, Baron Bomburst's castle is Neuschwanstein in Bavaria, it apparently inspired the Disneyland castle, now their logo.

This and, 'Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory', are 2 of a number of films that encapsulated part of my childhood.

The Great Race with Tony Curtis is also a Victorian ere film......and like Chitty Chitty Bang Bang it takes the viewer on a long adventure!

Thank y'all!

Australian ballet star Robert Helpmann plays the child catcher. He is so famous here that there are awards named for him - The Helpmann Award for Australian performing arts

If you do happen to buy a big hat, another great British movie set around the same time is "Half A Sixpence".

The Windmill House was for sale recently, beautiful!

I think the child catcher was the first film character to scare me as a child, watching re-runs of this film on tv. You can see the signs of the story having been written by Ian Fleming who also invented James Bond. Lots of fancy gadgets and mechanical wonders, and a female character with a name like 'Truly Scrumptious'. Could have been the name of a Bond girl in any of the James Bond adventures. Plus of course Gert Frobe/Baron Bomburst was also Goldfinger.

My favorite scene has always been the Baron's birthday party when Truly and Caractacus are disguised as the dolls.

Hey the guy at the carnival the got the bad hair cut he’s the first one to get a “Mohawk “remember for a while it was the style..

Best non-Disney children's movie ever.

Thank you for reacting to this classic! I used to love watching this film and singing to it as a kid! Fun fact: They almost cast Julie Andrews (Mary Poppins) for the role of Truly Scrumptious but opted for Sally Ann Howes to avoid confusion I believe as Dick Van Dyke had portrayed Bert in Mary Poppins. I have to recommend these other great 50s-70s films: The King and I (1956), West Side Story (1961), Disney’s Pete’s Dragon (1977), Disney’s Pollyanna (1960), and Disney’s Swiss Family Robinson (1960). 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦🏎️🤴👸💛❤️🩶

I believe Julie refused the role of Truly, opting instead to reunite with SOUND OF MUSIC director Robert Wise to make STAR! (1968), a bio-pic of musical comedy star Gertrude Lawrence. To my mind, it's the best Julie Andrews movie that most people have never seen.

@@dcemerald70 Around 1969, Julie and Dick Van Dyke were planned to star in a film adaptation of Bock & Harnick's Broadway musical SHE LOVES ME, based on the same story as the earlier movies THE SHOP AROUND THE CORNER (1940) starring Jimmy Stewart, and IN THE GOOD OLD SUMMERTIME (1949), starring Judy Garland. Unfortunately, the project was cancelled. Decades later, Julie and Dick were suposed to star in Stephen Schwartz's live-acrion TV musical GEPPETTO (2000), but around this time Julie had the fateful throat surgery that destroyed her singing voice, so the project went forward with other actors. However, Julie and Dick were reunited in a television special, JULIE AND DICK AT COVENT GARDEN, in 1974.

I’ve seen this movie half a dozen times, maybe, and this is the first time I’ve noticed that that windmill that Professor Pots & his family lives in doesn’t have any sails on its arms & they are still going around anyway, lol. That castle you wondered if the Disney catle was modelled after is the Neuschwanstein castle in Bavaria (Southern Germany). Mad King Ludwig had it built in the late 1800s but only ended up living in it for less than 6 months.

This movie is fun, but Mary Poppins (1964) is arguably the greatest family movie ever made. 100% recommended.

For the hats or dresses watch "The Great Race" with Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon. Around the same time period 😁

Ian Flemming (the James Bond author) wrote this for his children.
