  DVD Review - Chitty Chitty Bang Bang   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Chitty emerges from Potts’ garage looking far more resplendent than her days on the racing circuit.
Soon thereafter, Potts spins the tale of how Chitty has caught the malevolent eye of the villainous Baron Bomburst (Gert Frobe) of Vulgaria and his incessant efforts to capture Chitty for his own nefarious purposes (The book‘s antagonist was the very British gangster Joe the Monster).
First up is a newly produced interview with star Dick Van Dyke, Running twenty five minutes, "Remembering ‘Chitty Chitty Bang Bang’" runs the gamut from how he got involved in the project to a thorough walk down memory lane, praising the cast and crew members to a fault.
