What is an Into Film Club?

Synopsis

One of the most endearing children's films of all time, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang was also one of the most lavish movies of its era. Produced by the team behind Mary Poppins, the plot concerns an unsuccessful inventor who rescues an old car which acquires magical properties. Featuring unforgettable songs, the film is also well-known for the chilling Child Catcher - still a scary figure even for those long past childhood!
