The game's question

Some films a family could watch again and again. In 1968, the director Carol Reed brought a musical to the big screen, taken from Lionel Bart’s stage show and from a novel by Charles Dickens. It won six Oscars, among them best picture and best director. What was the film called? Circle it together.

  • Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

Need a hint?

The title is a boy’s first name, with an exclamation mark at the end, as if someone were calling him in for tea.
