Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

Ian Fleming may be best known for Bond, but he brought all the glorious gadgetry and thrilling villains to his novel about the inventor Caractacus Potts who is a single father to his two children, with some help from his eccentric father. When the children are returned home by sweet factory heiress Truly Scrumptious the two initially clash, but are brought closer as they embark on an adventure in their fantasmagorical flying car.
