This is a man named Heinz Meixner defecting from East Germany by driving through Checkpoint Charlie. His fiancée, Margarete, is hidden in the tiny section behind the driver's seat. His future mother-in-law is crammed into the cramped luggage area.

They made it.

No idea who these peeps are. We did not have a TV when I was small.
It's a movie, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Dick Van Dyke, Sally Ann Howes, Lionel Jeffries, Gert Fröbe, Anna Quayle, Benny Hill, James Robertson Justice, Robert Helpmann, Heather Ripley, Adrian Hall.

It's based on a children's novel by Ian Fleming (!). The screenplay was co-written by children's author Roald Dahl (James and the Giant Peach, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda, etc.).

It's a very fun and whimsical movie with great songs. Dick Van Dyke absolutely shines in it. In my opinion this role even surpasses his role in Mary Poppins (which came out four years earlier).
