5. He almost ran into me once

Him and this entourage of reporters at a bookstore. I only saw the back of his head as he was talking. I recognized the voice but didnt know it was him until I asked a staff member....

6. 100!

I liked Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Was the original also in color? It had to be one of the earlier movies that wasn’t BW.

13. ? The book of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang was published in 1964 (just after Ian Fleming died)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang

and the Dick Van Dyke movie made in 1968. What is "the original" here? Colour movies started in the 1930s.

14. I didn't put it well

I saw it in 2021 for the first time and it was in color. But it vaguely had the appearance of the type of movie that was colorized:

I can’t remember why (and I forgot to look it up after posting that), but I came away with the impression that it was colorized after. I think I am confusing it with a different movie.

9. Van Dyke & Company

I was never a fan of the Variety Show genre but Van Dyke & Company was the exception to that rule.

Dick Van Dyke assembled an incredible roster of comedic talent -- Bob Einstein, Andy Kaufman, Carl Reiner, Tommy Smothers, Mary Tyler Moore, Carol Burnett, Lucille Ball, Steve Martin...

Unfortunately it was cancelled after just 11 episodes.

15. I typed, "Tributes to Dick Van Dyke" into a search engine. . .

. . . And one of the links, (which I did not click) led to some tribute that Piers Morgan has created. Ugh! Piers Morgan. Sorry for the negativity, Mr. Van Dyke, but Morgan is the anthesis of you and I had to express my feelings.
