Chitty Chitty Bang Bang - Novelization of Film

Novelization of Film

The film did not follow Fleming's novel closely. A separate novelization of the film was published at the time of the film's release. It basically followed the film's story but with some differences of tone and emphasis, e.g. it mentioned that Caractacus Potts had had difficulty coping after the death of his wife, and it made it clearer that the sequences including Baron Bomburst were extended fantasy sequences. It was written by John Burke.
