Chitty Chitty Bang Bang: Doll on a Music Box / Truly Scrumptious HD

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 :)

[@christopheradderley45]

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 🧡

[@trinitycardenas8584]

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

[@chrisnorton4382]

In film musicals the songs are usually pre-recorded to get the best quality and the actors later lip-sync to them. Singing well and dancing at the same time is pretty much impossible.

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

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.

[@cabpeer5963]

I find this scene to be the most romantic in cinematic history. It's the only one that blends a love confession to be a public and private affair. Public, because there's people around. Private, because only the two of them understand. They share one look, the king notices, and it's immediately back to business. Because what matters is freeing the kids. And free the kids the did, and they did it together. And the love confession directly moves forward the plot in more than one way. Truly brilliant writing.

[@markcowley1369]

Well said. You've encapsulated exactly how I feel about this scene. For me, it's one of the greatest and one of my favourite scenes in cinema. It's the scene I keep revisiting and yet still manage to feel so many bitter-sweet emotions. I feel my heart aching whenever I watch it. Beautiful.

[@There-Is-No-Virus]

Not just that, "This sequence is a part of Caractacus's story, which he is telling to Truly and his children. In the song, Caractacus plays a rag doll, too flexible for his own good; whereas, Truly plays a doll that is too rigid for her own good. Twice during the counterpoint, the rag doll approaches the doll, only to be slapped in the face. This mirrors the earlier story where Caractacus's first two interactions with Truly are mistimed as well. The rag doll keeps trying, when suddenly he captures his own reflection and realizes how foolish he appears. It is only when Truly momentarily breaks character and shoves him slightly into the mirror to get his attention that he returns to his character. The rag doll properly courts the doll and is about to kiss the doll's hand, when she retracts her hand from him just in time. Rigidity wins out. Only at the end of the movie do Caractacus and Truly truly see eye to eye."

[@12classics39]

"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.

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 ❤💖💕

[@deltaweathers]

Sally obviously did amazing and probably made a lot of effort and practice to it. But you also gotta appreciate the *character* (Truly Scrumptious) she played in the film. She got into costume, made a whole song, memorized the choreo ( _synced perfectly with the music_ ) and did a flawless imitation of a doll _twice_ in the span of a few hours before this scene. Get that girl a frickin award.

[@2fsycho]

I honestly wish to see more choreography like this in newer musicals. There was just so much to appreciate in the movement.

[@beardedbjorn5520]

It’s all big numbers these days, trying to pack in as much as they can. So much that you lose track of everything. This is perfectly done

[@peddyprincess]

Actually, it's very straining on the body the amount of stress and torture in practicing dances and singing at the same time caused a lot of health issues in theatre. It's not that Theatre doesn't want to do pieces like this anymore, it's that they value their actors more.

I first saw this 50 years ago. This is the scene and the beautiful, poignant song that has never left me. I am as captivated by it in middle age as I was as a child. It is perfect in every way and quite unlike any scene filmed before it. I very clearly remember absolutely loving this moment and being thrilled by its invention and performances but at the same time being highly nervous they would make an error or be exposed and be captured by the baron. This wonderful film has more than stood the test of time and it also stands the test of growing up - coming back to it in late adulthood, it is just as wonderful as ever it was to a wide-eyed child.

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.

[@tcalomfirescu]

I don't know how to define nor justify this, but this is one of the most romantic, poignant scenes ever spoken on celluloid. Perhaps it's the transition from mechanical to human, jocular to love, that speaks a deeper truth. Oh, and the tension of unrequited love turned requited at the end, with the flick of a smile and the wink of an eye, that hits deep.

I haven’t watched the movie in forever though, but I do have it. Then I found clips and decided to watch them and found this clip, it brought back so many memories and I’ve fallen in love with this song and dance all over again, and it’s crazy because I now have my own music box collection and I love musicals, and this is a musical, so it’s even more special. I wish movies were more cute and special like this and had more meaning and thought. Some today’s movies are pretty good, but when I see older versions of movies, barbie movies, TV series, they are always so much better. CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!

This is one of the loveliest pieces of composed music in film. So delightful and very well artistically crafted.

RIP ❤️ loved this scene!

[@vicks827]

This my favorite scene too. I sing this to my baby and he smiles everytime :)

[@samkresil6011]

I have not seen this film in a long long while but to this day, I miss it already. And just at the time of Sally Ann Howes' passing, I was surprised to learn this was filmed on the first take!

No one makes movies like this anymore. It's a shame because they were some awesome movies back then. True classics.

R.I.P Sally Ann Howes 😢

This was one of my comfort movies as a young kid. This and the Wizard of Oz were two of my favorites . I was always so mesmerized with this scene in particular of the movie. Something about Sally Ann Howes & Duck Van Dyke’s performances just really caught my attention as a kid. To find out later that this scene was shot in one take made this scene even more terrific. My grandparents were to ones who really catapulted my love of this film and the Wizard of Oz. I wish I could go back to those simpler times. Watching both of the movies bring a part of that back.

As a kid: Boring As an Adult: Omg this song is lovely! Amazing 30 years later i can find a new appreciation for this film :D

[@hungowapower]

Probably my favorite scene from any movie ever

[@Luttibelle]

For some reason, this song was stuck in m head tonight. I knew I could count on KZbin to come through for me. I LOVE the song, love her clear as a bell voice, love the dancing. This is just one of my favorite scenes from any movie. 🥰

Truly timeless…

[@tsukuyomi2055]

Scary how I thought I just have quick listen this scene again, only to then find out Sally Ann Howes has passed away the very same day - RIP

[@Donde_Lieta]

The same thing happened to me. I was rehearsing the doll aria from the opera “Tales of Hoffman” which is very similar in concept to this scene, so I immediately thought of this scene from my childhood, and went to look it up, and I got to thinking how I always thought Sally Ann Howes was so underrated, and then I saw the news…
