	DVD Savant Review: Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
		People born between 1958 and 1962 seem to love Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, and remember with delight being taken to it, playing the record incessantly, etc. This contrasts with Savant, who was 16 when it came out - the likes of this film was anathema.
		The parallels between this movie and the Bond films go pretty deep, from the idea of a gimmick-laden car to the presence of Auric Goldfinger in the cast.
		I've been assured that the original book of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is a charming delight, but the movie seems like a wicked joke by Albert R. Broccoli to do a perverse riff on his James Bond franchise.
