I'm sorry but Sally Ann Howes stole the scene here, and I think she should have sung the entire song. Dick Van Dyke is special in his own way, but for this song, Truly Scrumptious was amazing.
Ah don't you miss classic movies like this? they just don't make them like this any more...and I'm only 14...I miss movies like bednobs and broomsticks, the labyrinth and beetle juice :3
Thank God Sally Ann Howes got involved, Dick Van Dyke started off perhaps a little too creepy... what with the hair touching and the face carressing and all...
@ShieldsCake This film was made in a time when it was considered quite normal for men to be tender with children - the fact that this creeps people out these days is testament to the success of decades of feminist campaigning to demonize all men as potential paedophiles. Odious.
What I Love so much about this song is how Dick Vandyke breaks up while singing the song... and how the woman he loves restores him.... A pure Faustus moment.
@rupertandbill I hope you can't imagine just how true your words are. Normally, I lost myself in books before I was older & escaped in more unacceptable ways to numb myself from the abuse from an alcoholic father who went after me then tried to beat on my brother but I picked fights to turn his anger to me so he'd leave my brother alone. I was the oldest, a girl but still it was my job to keep him safe. We escaped into movies like this when possible & it helped.We broke the abuse & alcoholism.
@mainebitch69: You're the same age as my oldest daughter. I can remember playing this movie for her as a child. She wouldn't sleep at night w/o my singing songs like Hushabye Mtn, Feed the Birds, My Favorite Things, etc... By the time our 2nd came 10yrs later, I was singing the same along w/Once Upon a December & other Disney Classics b4 the magic appeared on the screen vs in the imagination & minds of children. It's why these movies are so precious to me.
this movie ranks up there among the all time best. i'm 45 y/o and i still watch it when i want to feel good inside. i have a 48 y/o friend at my job who shares the same sentiment and we occasionally sing the songs from the movie. BTW, did they ever make Toot Sweets in real life/
I'm singing thisfor an end of term solo at school :) I'm really nervous because it's the first time I've ever sung in front of an audience :S But I love the song and always have :D
@julie11061 Hi. I'm a music instrument and singing teacher in Norway. (from England) If you love the song, - and you must as it is SOOO beautiful,- then that should be enough to help you control your nerves. Just remember, 'Take the meaning of the song and it's beauty and SHOW, and SHARE it with the audience. Break a leg - as we say in theatre.
Martin, I've just re-watched this recently and have picked up so much more in the film than from when I was a kid...I never realized that Potts was so choked up that Truly stepped in to comfort the kids. A wonderful, touching moment...yea, they'll be a great married couple!
That bit wasn`t actually part of the script, but for real ! The producers found it so touching that they decided not to edit, but to leave it as it was.
i've said on another post that i loved this film when growing up (still do in fact) and now my daughter (who's nearly 4) loves it too, so many memorable scenes, a true classic that spans generations
@silkyskilz I'm thirteen and love Chitty Chitty Bang Bang :) I also love Dick Van Dyke, audrey Hepburn, Julie Andrews and of course The Sound of Music :D
@jimbax1204 if it's not too much to ask, would you please thank your nephew Steve for his part in bringing so much joy to other children but also to my brother & I as children as well as our children now, even my 24yo... :) I'd love to get an autograph from him to tuck away as a memento of better movies where special effects were the imagination of the mind vs special additions to the sets w/green screens & CGI.
Sally Anne Howes had take over from Dick Van Dyke, because he was so emotionally overcome. If you look at 1:00 minute you can actually see his bottom lip quiver.

Mine too......remember seeing it on holiday in Bridlington in Summer of `68 (I`d be nearly 5), enjoyed it so much got dad to take me back in another two times, one after the other. I`m 46 now and it`s still my favourite !
Thats Benny Hill with Sally at the beginning.
