Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (1968)

Posted

Dick Van Dyke, Sally Ann Howes, Lionel Jeffries, Benny Hill, Gert Frobe and “Chitty” star in one of the most delightful, warm-hearted, musicals of all time. Inventor Caractacus Potts (Dick Van Dyke) transforms a broken-down race car into a magical vehicle and together with his two children and Truly Scrumptious (Sally Ann Howes) set off on a magical adventure to save both their grandfather and the imprisoned children they encounter along the way.

“Chitty Chitty Bang Bang contains about the best two-hour children’s movie you could hope for, with a marvelous magical auto and lots of adventure and a nutty old grandpa and a mean Baron and some funny dances and a couple of scary moments,” said Film Critic Roger Ebert.

Experience of this wonderful, musical favorite with full theatre sound on the big screen, 3 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 10, at the Rosendale Theatre, 408 Main St., Rosendale. Admission is $10/$6 members. For more information, visit rosendaletheatre.org or call 845-658-8989.
