dimity_blue29. A film from the year you turned four years old
I had no idea how many awful sounding films were released in 1971! Fortunately, I spotted Bedknobs and Broomsticks (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066817/?ref_=adv_li_tt) in the list.
Miss Price (Angela Lansbury) is most put out at having to take in 3 orphaned children who have been evacuated to her village due to the war. The children, on the other hand, are astonished to discover Miss Price is a trainee witch who's trying to complete her studies in order to help in the war effort.
Bedknobs and Broomsticks is a film I grew up with. The battle scene at the end is a favourite of mine, especially the beginning bit when the standards begin to sway.

The effects are rather endearing, but it's just... bad. :D

And if you can think of a sensible reason why the heroine is dressed in a bikini, I'd like to hear it!
