Mary Poppins
Oct 13 - Oct 14, 2007
Robert Stevenson, USA, 1964, 35mm, 139 min
An impossibly luminous Julie Andrews trills and thrills in Walt Disney's most magical masterpiece of family entertainment. Mary Poppins, of course, is the perfect nanny, who descends by umbrella parachute to rescue a London family from stuffy Edwardian unhappiness. Andrews, who Jack Warner had deigned not photogenic enough to star in the film version of MY FAIR LADY, got her revenge (served with a spoonful of sugar) when she won the Academy Award for this unforgettable Hollywood film debut. Also starring Dick Van Dyke, Glynnis Johns, David Tomlison, and the great Jane Darwell in her last screen performance (as the Bird Lady). Appropriate for all ages.

"In a way, Mary Poppins is the culmination of Walt's career in that it draws on everything he learned how to do - blending animation and live action, integrating songs with story and of course, not the least, his great eye for talent."-Leonard Maltin
