Review of Bedknobs and Broomsticks (1971) by Mark Karl H — 07 Nov 2009
Good fun despite the obvious paralells with "Mary Poppins" Angela Lansbury plays an irrepressible witch in training who takes in two evacuees during the early days of the second world war. In order to complete her training she needs the star of Astoroth to be found in a cartoon kingdom which she journeys to with her two charges and David Tomlinson.
Even though it looks cheaper, it has a few memorable songs including "Down at the Bottom of the beautiful Briny sea" and Angela Lansbury is great as Eglantine, fending off a German attack by finally getting the spell right!
