Watching...........Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

Somehow, I never watched this film when I was a child. I can't imagine why not; it's absolutely exquisite. So fun, colorful, and imagninative. I adore Dick Van Dyke. Mark and I were trying to decide if there was a modern day equivalent for Dick Van Dyke. You know, like George Clooney is sort of the reincarnation of Cary Grant? I was stumped, but Mark finally got it: Steve Martin. Which seems an apt comparison: the same smart guy, oddball goofiness that is so endearing. I adore this movie. Katie Mae actually watched a good bit of it, but her attention span is not quite ready for such a long film, no matter how many silly songs there might be. In addition to the fun, zanier songs, one of my favorites from the films was this gem, which must be just about the sweetest, most lovely lullaby I have ever heard.
