My 150 Favorite Movies - #45

Mary Poppins (1964)

This was the movie that rocketed Julie Andrews to international stardom after having been cruelly overlooked for the part of Eliza Doolittle in the film version of  My Fair Lady.  Based on one of my all-time favorite children's books, by P.L. Travers,  Mary Poppins tells the story of a magical nanny who basically rescues single-handedly a London family around the turn of the last century. An eminently hummable score and a wonderful supporting cast, including Dick Van Dyke and Glynis Johns puts this movie into the must-see Classic category.
