United Artists promoted the film with an expensive, extensive advertising campaign, hoping to reproduce the success of The Sound of Music (1965), and it was initially released on a roadshow basis. [4] Reception [ edit ] Original release [ edit ]The novel was initially published in three volumes, the first in October 1964, which was two months after Fleming's death. [10] It became one of the best-selling children's books of the year. [11] Albert R. Broccoli, producer of the James Bond films (which were based on novels by Fleming), read the novel and was not initially enthusiastic about turning it into a film, but the success of Mary Poppins (1964) changed his mind. [9] Kids are catered for with two interactive games, but what they'll really enjoy is the karaoke subtitles they (and you) can sing along to. Also worth a look for the younger ones is a featurette on the original car, which still runs today - thanks to a clown!

A novelisation of the film written by John Burke was published at the time of the film's release. It basically followed the film's story, but there were some differences in tone and emphasis; for example, the novelisation mentioned that Caractacus had difficulty coping after the death of his wife and made it clearer that the sequences including Baron Bomburst were fantasy. [40] Comic book adaption [ edit ]Van Dyke was cast in the film after he turned down the role of Fagin in the 1968 musical Oliver!. The role of Truly Scrumptious was originally offered to Julie Andrews to reunite her with Van Dyke after their success in Mary Poppins (1964), but Andrews rejected the part because she felt it was too similar to Poppins; [8] Sally Ann Howes, who had replaced Andrews as Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady on Broadway in 1958, was then offered the role, and she accepted.
