Description of this Mary Poppins 1964 Poster
Mary Poppins is a 1964 American musical fantasy film directed by Robert Stevenson and produced by Walt Disney, with songs written and composed by the Sherman Brothers. The screenplay is by Bill Walsh and Don DaGradi, based on PL Travers' Mary Poppins book series. The film, which combines live action and animation, stars Julie Andrews in her feature film debut as Mary Poppins, who visits a dysfunctional family in London and uses her unique lifestyle to improve the family's dynamics . Dick Van Dyke, David Tomlinson and Glynis Johns play supporting roles. The film was filmed entirely at Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, California, with painted London background scenes.
Mary Poppins was released on August 27, 1964, to critical acclaim and commercial success. It became the highest-grossing film of 1964 and, at the time of its release, the highest-grossing film in Disney history. It received a total of 13 Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture - a record for a film released by Walt Disney Studios - and won five: It won five: Best Actress for Andrews, Best Editing for film, best original score, best visual effects and best original song for "Chim Chim Cher-ee". Mary Poppins is considered Walt Disney's greatest live-action achievement and is the only one of his films to earn a Best Picture nomination during his lifetime. In 2013, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress because it is "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
A biographical drama about the making of the film, In Mary's Shadow, was released on October 20, 2013. A sequel, Mary Poppins Returns, was released on December 19, 2018.
In Edwardian London in the spring of 1910, George Banks returned home to number 17 Cherry Tree Lane to learn from his wife, Winifred, that babysitter Katie Nanna had left their service after their children , Jane and Michael, ran away, "for the fourth time this week" ("Life I Lead"). They are returned home soon after by Officer Jones, who reveals that the children were chasing a lost kite. The children ask their father to help them build a better kite, but he rejects them. Taking the initiative to hire a new nanny, Mr. Banks places an ad for a strict and unemotional nanny. In contrast, Jane and Michael present their own advertisement for a kinder, gentler nanny. ("Perfect Nanny") Winifred (who is completely okay with the children) tries to keep the peace. After ordering Jane and Michael to go to bed, Mr. Banks tears up the letter and throws the remains into the fireplace, but a strong wind carries the fragments up the chimney and into the air.
The next day, a number of stern-faced old nannies wait outside the Banks' house for Ellen to let them in, but a strong gust of wind scares them away. Jane and Michael then witness the descent from the sky of a young magical nanny using her umbrella. Introducing Mr. Banks, Mary Poppins calmly produces the children's catering advertisement and agrees to his demands, but promises the astonished banker that she will be firm with her children. As Mr. Banks questions the return of advertising, Mary Poppins steps in and convinces him that it was originally her idea. She meets the children and helps them magically tidy up their nursery by snapping her fingers, before heading off for a walk in the park ("Spoonful of Sugar").
Outside, they meet an old friend of Mary's, Bert, a jack-of-all-trades street painter; Mary Poppins uses her magic to transport the group into one of her drawings. While the children go on a ride, Mary Poppins and Bert take a leisurely stroll. Together they sing ("Jolly Holiday"), and Bert flirts with Mary Poppins. After finding the children, Mary Poppins enchants the carousel horses; Bert saves a fox from a fox hunt; they participate in a horse race which Mary wins. To describe her victory, Mary Poppins uses an absurd word ("Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious"). The outing ends when a storm dissolves Bert's drawings, bringing the group back to London; when they return, Mary forces the children to take medicine to avoid getting sick and puts them to bed; when Jane and Michael refuse to fall asleep, she calmly sings them a song to help them fall asleep faster ("Stay Awake").
The next day, the three children meet Bert's strange Uncle Albert, who has flown into the air because of his uncontrollable laughter, and they join him for a ceiling tea party with many jokes ("I like to laugh" ). Afterwards, Mr. Banks is annoyed by the happy atmosphere in the house and threatens to fire Mary Poppins, but she persuades him to take the children to his workplace the next day. That evening, Mary sings to the children a hymn-like lullaby[11] about the woman who sits on the steps of St. Paul's Cathedral selling bird food ("Feed The Birds"). The next day, at the bank, the children meet old Mr. Dawes, senior. Mr. Dawes aggressively encourages Michael to invest his two cents in the bank, and eventually snatches the coins from him ("Fidelity Fiduciary Bank"). Michael demands that they be returned to him; other customers hear the conflict, and they all start demanding their own money back, causing a run on the bank.
Jane and Michael run away from the bank, getting lost in the East End of London until they find Bert, now working as a chimney sweep, and who accompanies them home ("Chim Chim Cheree"). The three men and Mary Poppins venture onto the rooftops, where they engage in a song and dance routine with other chimney sweeps, which spills over onto the Banks house ("Step in Time") after their neighbor Admiral Boom shoots cartoon fireworks at them, mistaking them for thieves and calling them "cheeky devils". Mr. and Mrs. Banks return home to find Bert's friends dancing in their house and send them away. Mr. Banks then receives a phone call from the bank asking him to meet with them about what the children have done. The children hear the phone call and realize their father is in trouble. Bert tells Mr. Banks that he needs to spend more time with his children before they grow up ("A Man Has Dreams"). Michael gives the two pence to his father in the hope of making amends.
Mr. Banks travels across London to the bank, where he suffers a humiliating charge and is fired. Searching for the words in the tuppence, he blurts out "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious", tells the Uncle Albert joke "wooden leg named Smith" that the kids told, and goes home happily. Mr. Dawes thinks about the joke and, finally understanding it, flies into the air laughing.
The next day, the tide turns, which means Mary Poppins has to leave. A happier Mr. Banks is at home, having repaired his children's kite, and takes the family to fly it. In the park, the Banks family meets Mr. Dawes' son, Mr. Dawes Jr, who reveals that his father died laughing at the joke ("Let's Go Fly a Kite"). Mr. Dawes Jr. says he has never seen his father happier in his life and rehires Mr. Banks as a junior partner. Her work done, Mary Poppins ends the film by flying away, with Bert telling her from afar not to stay away for too long.
