Promotion for the 1964 film, Mary Poppins. Long resistant to film
adaptations of her Mary Poppins books, P.L. Travers finally succumbed to the
entreaties of Walt Disney, and the result is often considered the finest of
Disney's personally supervised films. The Travers stories are bundled together
to tell the story of the Edwardian-era British Banks family: the banker father
(David Tomlinson), suffragette mother (Glynis Johns), and the two "impossible"
children (Karen Dotrice and Matthew Garber). The kids get the attention of their
all-business father by bedeviling every new nanny in the Banks household. When
Mr. Banks advertises conventionally for another nanny, the kids compose their
own ad, asking for someone with a little kindness and imagination. Mary Poppins
(Julie Andrews in her screen debut) answers the children's ad by arriving at the
Banks home from the skies, parachuting downward with her umbrella. She
immediately endears herself to the children. The next day they meet Mary's old
chum Bert (Dick Van Dyke), currently employed as a sidewalk artist. Mary, Bert,
and the children hop into one of Bert's chalk drawings and learn the nonsense
song "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" in a cartoon countryside. Later, they
pay a visit to Bert's Uncle Albert (Ed Wynn), who laughs so hard that he floats
to the ceiling. Mr. Banks is pleased that his children are behaving better, but
he's not happy with their fantastic stories. To show the children what the real
world is like, he takes them to his bank. A series of disasters follow which
result in his being fired from his job. Mary Poppins' role in all this leads to
some moments when it is possible to fear that all her good work will be undone,
but like the magical being she is, all her "mistakes" lead to a happy result by
the end of the film. In 2001, Mary Poppins was rereleased in a special
"sing-along" edition with subtitles added to the musical numbers so audiences
could join in with the onscreen vocalists. Fine condition.
