- The songs scene in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang where "Doll on a Music Box" and "Truly Scrumptious" sung by Dick Van Dyke and Sally Ann Howes. This was my favorite part of the movie since I was a little girl :)
This is simply a spellbindingly beautiful performance by Sally Ann. I'd just like to leave this little comment here, so that if in a month or year or two someone likes it, I'm reminded to re-visit this magical moment 🧡
Can we take a moment to appreciate the difficulty that is Sally's part. She had to stand up there and not move her eyes so that she'd look like a doll but move her mouth to sing. She couldn't even move her shoulders or her chest to breathe while she was singing!!! And her movements had to be on point and sharp. That takes a lot honestly and I love this part of the movie because of the artistry that comes with her dance
"The Doll on a Music Box" represents what these characters are actually feeling throughout the film. High society life made Truly feel trapped and unhappy. Caractacus and the kids have unlocked her suppressed sense of fun and adventure and taught her the value of true human connection. As for Caractacus, he was so wild and reckless in his inventions that he truly did live life like a rag doll, and without the kids there to protect, he may have gone as insane and delusional as his dad. But Truly has grounded him and shown him how to be practical while still maintaining dreams and hopes. Her withdrawal of her hand from his kiss symbolizes their shared fears of their social and personal differences, yet the look she gives him at the very end speaks volumes and reveals her eternal love. So many layers to this scene that I never noticed as a child. Absolutely brilliant.
It took me years to notice the cheat that happens when he gets up out of the box - namely, that the music box with the doll completely disappears. He gets the entire floor to do his introductory dance, and then suddenly the music box is back! Clearly the director realized nobody would notice, and it worked.
I met Dick Van Dyke for a book signing of his autobiography. He was so sweet and curtious to us. My mother told him how much she loved this movie and he just smiled. After she said that, I said how much Mary Poppins meant to me as a kid and he lit up, took my hand, and said how great that made him feel. We were curious as to why he reacted this way. We read his autobiography and it turns out he HATED making Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and loved Mary Poppins although the accent was a pain. Who knew XD
TO KNOW SHE DID THAT DANCE IN ONE TAKE THO!!
It's Joe Biden!
I love how he stopped to realize how silly he looked, and the only way to snap him out of it was Sally pushing him into the mirror. 🤣
Such sad news. Sally-Anne Howes "Truly Scrumptious" has passed away. So much talent, this scene was apparently done in one take. Another great actress and singer sadly leaves us. This song and her singing Hushabye Mountain gives me goosebumps. Her voice was just so comforting as a child, pure and clear. RIP lovely lady ❤💖💕
This moment of the movie is so beautiful, he finally confesses and realizes his love for her, which is what she waited for was for him to fall in love with her as she expresses in "lovely lonely man". And her music box song represents her rich lifestyle she hated living being a doll on a music box having her life planned out for her, finally breaking free from that and living the life she wants as a mother and wife.
Dick Van Dyke really isn't given enough credit for his talents as a performer. This number alone proves how good he really is.
her shoving him into the mirror to snap him out of it will always crack me up. one of my favorite songs ever ❤️
It's jaw dropping that she pulled this off in one take.
Over a decade later, and I suddenly feel compelled to look for this scene in particular.
Sally obviously did amazing and probably made a lot of effort and practice to it. But you also gotta appreciate the
I honestly wish to see more choreography like this in newer musicals. There was just so much to appreciate in the movement.

If that is Sally Anne Howe singing, her voice is so beautiful!
Okay. I really thought it was a doll at first. Her acting is so superb. In Glass Mask there is a drama where the main character must stay as a doll and not blink. I thought it was impossible. But then this
This is my favourite scene in the whole film no idea why, she's so beautiful.
