    You reminded me and (unintentionally) made me go read about Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. In the story, there is a child-catcher working for the Baron and Baroness of Vulgaria where children are illegal.

    Whilst watching the child-catcher scene, I saw a familiar face. It was the toymaker who was portrayed by Benny Hill. That made me check the IMDB page and it was indeed him. Also of note: the story was written by Ian Flemming (screenplay by Roald Dahl) and one of the children was the (then) future singer Phil Collins.
