When the Banks children ask for a nanny with a little kindness and imagination, what descends from the sky to rescue them from their stuffy Edwardian unhappiness is none other than the enigmatic Mary Poppins—brought to life from P. L. Travers’ popular series of books. A luminous Julie Andrews, in her screen debut, sings iconic songs like “A Spoonful of Sugar” and "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” and dances on the rooftops of old London with chimney-sweeping chum Bert. Nominated for thirteen Academy Awards, the ultimate family musical took home five of them, including Best Actress, Best Original Score, and Best Song for “Chim Chim Cher-ee.” The film’s delightfully magical mix of live action and animation appears all the more splendid screening in its original 35mm Technicolor glory.
