Short description
A hapless inventor finally finds success with a flying car, which a dictator from a foreign government sets out to take for himself.
What's left behind the scenes
- At the time of filming, Dick Van Dyke was 40 years old and never warmed up before dance numbers. During filming, he thought he had pulled a muscle, but soon after he was already moving around, albeit with a limp. The actor saw a doctor, who stated that he had arthritis and that in 5 years the actor would either be walking with a cane or end up in a wheelchair. In response, Van Dyke danced right in the doctor's office, much to the doctor's surprise. Almost half a century later, when Van Dyke was already 92 years old, he danced in Rob Marshall's musical "Mary Poppins Returns" (2018).
- Initially, Dick Van Dyke refused to participate in this film, but he was offered the role again and again, and the fee was increased more and more. When the fee reached a seven-figure sum plus a certain percentage of the profits, he agreed.
- Seven magical cars were created: a used one, a restored one, one for flying, one for filming on water, and three more for other scenes.
