From Quixote to Caractacus: Influence, intertextuality, and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

Article Abstract:

Some commonalities are analyzed between Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, the popular 1968 children's musical film, and four standard literary texts, namely Don Quixote, Peregrine Pickle, Tristram Shandy and Great Expectations. Cervante's Don Quixote is suggested to have influenced the story of the movie, which has Caractacus Potts as its central character, while also exploring the film in terms of an intertextual relation of the three English novels in the depiction of a specific character of an English eccentric.
