This film has very unique and good song and dance numbers, romantic intrigue in a very old fashioned courting by accident kind of way, slap stick antics, and jokes and gags that are obvious and subtle in nature.It is of course a film of the late 60s, and so there are some technical limitations with the special effects, but the film itself is a blend of genres and styles. And the bad guys are both scary and buffoons, and get their comeuppance in the end.The very talented Dick Van Dyke and lovely Sally Ann Howe make a terrific leading couple, and Lionel Jeffries playing the equally eccentric Potts senior, give the adults something to chew on as the younger audience focus on Heather Ripley and Adrian Hall, the child vicariants. It's a movies about espionage, about invention, about romance, about imagination and a car that does miraculous things.As a young boy I enjoyed it as a simple adventure story. As an adult I enjoyed it as a slapstick film that had quiet moments in it, but gave good subtle laughs with the entire cast. From the two spies, to Jeffries singing with the gaggle of dungeoned inventors, to the really sumptuous scenery of the English countryside, this is a film not to be missed, enjoyed either alone or with loved ones, and just watched when you're feeling down.I could take pot shots at the alteration from the original story, but that's nitpicking. The Bond production team felt like making a children's movie, and they did. With "Flying Colors" so to speak, tipping my hat to the original character. Check it out. 2 people found this helpfulUditReviewed in the United States on April 27, 2022 Awesome movie Verified purchaseOne person found this helpfulSee all reviews |
