If you ever wondered what happened to the half of the cast of Mary Poppins, that didn't end up in Herbie The Love Bug, look no farther than the 1967 Disney--um, classic isn't quite the right word--live action film, The Gnome-Mobile. Based on the screenplay adaptation of the novel of the same name, both by--I need to sit down--Upton Sinclair.

I keep waiting for Shatner to show up and reveal this as a lost episode of Star Trek: The Original Series.
