I DON'T THINK WE NEED BOTHER THE POLICE, DEAR. THE FACTS
OF THE MATTER-- KINDLY DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLOUD THE ISSUE WITH FACTS.
ONE FACT, AND ONE FACT ALONE IS CRYSTAL CLEAR! KATIE NANNA'S FALTERED
AT HER POST. SHE'S LET THE FAMILY DOWN. AND I SHALL BRING

JUST. WHAT, UH-- YES. GEORGE BANKS HERE. YES. 17 CHERRY TREE LANE.
IT'S A MATTER OF SOME URGENCY. I SHOULD LIKE YOU TO SEND
A POLICEMAN AROUND IMMEDIATELY. THE POLICEMAN'S HERE, GEORGE!
WHAT? OH, HOW VERY PROMPT. WHAT WONDERFUL SERVICE. THANK
YOU SO MUCH. GOOD NIGHT. - COME IN, CONSTABLE. COME IN. - THANK
YOU, SIR. WHILE GOING ABOUT MY DUTIES ON THE OTHER
SIDE OF THE PARK, I NOTED SOME VALUABLES THAT HAD GONE ASTRAY. -
I BELIEVE THEY'RE YOURS, SIR. - VALUABLES? COME
ALONG, NOW. COME ALONG. JANE! MICHAEL! WINIFRED, PLEASE DON'T
BE EMOTIONAL. OH, I WOULDN'T BE TOO HARD ON 'EM, SIR. THEY'VE
HAD A LONG, WEARY WALK TODAY. CHILDREN, COME HERE AT ONCE.
- WELL? - I'M SORRY WE LOST KATIE NANNA, FATHER.
- YOU SEE, IT WAS WINDY. - AND THE KITE WAS TOO STRONG FOR
US. IN A MANNER OF SPEAKING, SIR, IT WAS THE KITE THAT RAN AWAY,
NOT THE CHILDREN. THANK YOU, CONSTABLE. I THINK I
CAN MANAGE THIS. ACTUALLY IT WASN'T A VERY GOOD KITE. WE MADE IT OURSELVES.
PERHAPS IF YOU HELPED US TO MAKE ONE-- AH, THAT'S THE
TICKET, SIR. KITES ARE SKITTISH THINGS. WHY, ONLY LAST WEEK WITH ME
OWN YOUNGSTERS-- I'M VERY GRATEFUL TO YOU, CONSTABLE, FOR
RETURNING THE CHILDREN. AND I'M SURE THAT IF YOU GO
TO THE KITCHEN, COOK'LL FIND YOU A PLATE OF SOMETHING. THANK YOU,
SIR. I SHALL NOW RETURN TO MY DUTIES. THANK YOU, CONSTABLE.
GOOD NIGHT, MISS. GOOD NIGHT, MA'AM. GOOD NIGHT, SIR. COOK'LL
FIND ME SOMETHING. I NEVER-- I'M AWFULLY SORRY ABOUT
THIS, GEORGE. I'LL EXPECT YOU'LL WANT TO DISCUSS IT. I WOULD
INDEED! ELLEN, TAKE JANE AND MICHAEL UPSTAIRS STRAIGHTAWAY.
YES, SIR. I KNEW IT. WHEN ALL'S SAID AND DONE, WHO BEARS THE BRUNT
OF EVERYTHING AROUND HERE? ME, THAT'S WHO! THEY DON'T WANT AN HONEST,
HARD-WORKIN' GIRL AROUND HERE. THEY NEED A RUDDY ZOOKEEPER.
I'M SORRY, DEAR, BUT WHEN I CHOSE KATIE NANNA, I THOUGHT SHE
WOULD BE FIRM WITH THE CHILDREN. SHE LOOKED SO SOLEMN AND
CROSS. WINIFRED, NEVER CONFUSE EFFICIENCY WITH A LIVER
COMPLAINT. I'LL TRY TO DO BETTER NEXT TIME. NEXT TIME?
MY DEAR, YOU'VE ENGAGED SIX NANNIES IN THE LAST FOUR MONTHS!
- AND THEY'VE ALL BEEN UNQUALIFIED DISASTERS. - I QUITE AGREE.
CHOOSING A NANNY FOR THE CHILDREN IS AN IMPORTANT AND
DELICATE TASK. IT REQUIRES INSIGHT, BALANCED JUDGMENT,
AND AN ABILITY TO READ CHARACTER. UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES,
I THINK IT MIGHT BE APROPOS TO TAKE IT UPON MYSELF TO, UH,
SELECT THE NEXT PERSON. - OH, WOULD YOU, GEORGE? - OBVIOUSLY THE
WAY TO FIND A PROPER NANNY... IS TO GO ABOUT IT IN A PROPER
FASHION. I SHALL PUT AN ADVERTISEMENT IN THETIMES. TAKE
THIS DOWN PLEASE. - YES, OF COURSE, DEAR. - WANTED.
UH, NO. UH, REQUIRED. NANNY: FIRM, RESPECTABLE, NO NONSENSE.
A BRITISH NANNY MUST BE A GENERAL THE FUTURE EMPIRE
LIES WITHIN HER HANDS AND SO THE PERSON THAT WE NEED TO MOLD
THE BREED IS A NANNY WHO CAN GIVE COMMANDS
- YOU GETTING THIS, WINIFRED? - OH, YES, DEAR. EVERY WORD. A BRITISH
BANK IS RUN WITH PRECISION A BRITISH HOME REQUIRES NOTHING
LESS TRADITION, DISCIPLINE AND RULES MUST BE THE TOOLS
WITHOUT THEM, DISORDER CATASTROPHE, ANARCHY IN SHORT YOU HAVE
A GHASTLY MESS SPLENDID, GEORGE! INSPIRATIONAL. THETIMES WILL
BE SO PLEASED. - FATHER? - YES? WE'VE DISCUSSED EVERYTHING,
AND WE'RE VERY SORRY ABOUT WHAT WE DID TODAY. I SHOULD CERTAINLY
THINK SO. - IT WAS WRONG TO RUN AWAY FROM KATIE NANNA.
- IT WAS INDEED. AND WE DO SO WANT TO GET ON WITH THE
NEW NANNY. VERY SENSIBLE. I SHALL BE GLAD TO HAVE YOUR HELP
IN THE MATTER. WE THOUGHT YOU WOULD. THAT'S WHY WE WROTE THIS ADVERTISEMENT.
- ADVERTISEMENT FOR WHAT? - FOR THE NEW NANNY. - YOU WROTE
AN ADVERT-- - GEORGE, I THINK WE SHOULD LISTEN. - YOU SAID
YOU WANTED OUR HELP. - BUT, I-- OH, VERY WELL. "WANTED: A NANNY
FOR TWO ADORABLE CHILDREN." "ADORABLE." WELL, THAT'S DEBATABLE,
I MUST SAY. IF YOU WANT THIS CHOICE POSITION HAVE A CHEERY DISPOSITION
- JANE, I DON'T-- - ROSY CHEEKS, NO WARTS - THAT'S THE PART

NURSERY. THEY WERE ONLY TRYING TO HELP. THEY'RE JUST CHILDREN.
I'M WELL AWARE THEY'RE JUST CHILDREN, WINIFRED. I ONLY CONGRATULATE
MYSELF THAT I DECIDED TO STEP IN AND TAKE A HAND. "PLAY
GAMES, SING SONGS, GIVE TREATS." RIDICULOUS. THERE'S NO
QUESTION IN MY MIND WHATSOEVER. NOW IS THE TIME FOR ACTION.
GIVE ME THETIMES, PLEASE. NO, I DO NOT KNOW THE NUMBER. OH,
GEORGE, YOU'RE ALWAYS SO FORCEFUL. THE TIMES?

ONE: A CHEERY DISPOSITION." I AM NEVER CROSS. "ITEM TWO:
ROSY CHEEKS." OBVIOUSLY. "ITEM THREE: PLAY GAMES, ALL SORTS."
WELL, I'M SURE THE CHILDREN WILL FIND MY GAMES EXTREMELY DIVERTING.
MAY I? EH, THIS PAPER? WHERE DID YOU GET IT FROM? I THOUGHT
I TORE IT UP. EXCUSE ME. "ITEM FOUR: YOU MUST BE KIND." I AM
KIND, BUT EXTREMELY FIRM. - HAVE YOU LOST SOMETHING? - AH!
YEAH. THAT PAPER, YOU SEE. I THOUGHT THAT I-- - YOU
ARE GEORGE BANKS, ARE YOU NOT? - WHAT? AND

- Y-YES, SIR? TELL THE OTHER APPLICANTS THEY MAY GO.
THE POSITION HAS BEEN FILLED. - THE OTHERS, SIR? - YES, THE
OTHERS. HOW MANY N-NANNIES DOES SHE THINK WE NEED IN THIS HOUSE?
THE POSITION HAS BEEN FILLED. I'M AFRAID THE NURSERY ISN'T VERY
TIDY. IT IS RATHER LIKE A BEAR PIT, ISN'T IT? - THAT'S A
FUNNY SORT OF BAG. - CARPET. - YOU MEAN TO CARRY
CARPETS IN? - NO. MADE OF. THIS IS YOUR ROOM, AND
THERE'S A LOVELY VIEW OF THE PARK. HMM. WELL, IT'S NOT EXACTLY
BUCKINGHAM PALACE. STILL, IT'S CLEAN. YES, I THINK IT WILL BE
QUITE SUITABLE. JUST NEEDS A TOUCH HERE AND THERE. WELL,

IS ON A HAT STAND. AH! THIS WILL NEVER DO! I MUCH PREFER SEEING

IN IT. NEVER JUDGE THINGS BY THEIR APPEARANCE. EVEN CARPETBAGS.
I'M SURE I NEVER DO. A THING OF BEAUTY IS A JOY FOREVER. MMM,

I ALWAYS KNOW WHAT TO SAY. GO ON, HURRY ALONG, PLEASE. YES, FATHER.
SUPERCALIFRAGILISTIC- EXPIALIDOCIOUS WINIFRED, WILL
YOU BE GOOD ENOUGH TO EXPLAIN THIS UNSEEMLY HULLABALOO? I DON'T
THINK THERE'S ANYTHING TO EXPLAIN. DO YOU? IT'S OBVIOUS
THAT YOU'RE OUT OF SORTS THIS MORNING. THE CHILDREN JUST CAME IN
TO MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER. I SHOULD LIKE TO MAKE ONE THING QUITE CLEAR,
ONCE AND FOR ALL. I AM NOT OUT OF SORTS. I AM IN A PERFECTLY EQUABLE
MOOD. I DON'T REQUIRE BEING MADE TO FEEL BETTER! BUT YOU'RE
ALWAYS SAYING THAT YOU WANTED A CHEERFUL AND PLEASANT HOUSEHOLD.
WINIFRED, I SHOULD LIKE TO MAKE A SLIGHT DIFFERENTIATION...
BETWEEN THE WORD CHEERFUL AND JUST PLAIN GIDDY IRRESPONSIBILITY.
EXCUSE ME, DEAR. POSTS, EVERYONE, PLEASE! I HAVE NO OBJECTION
TO ANYONE BEING CHEERFUL OR PLEASANT. BUT I DO EXPECT A CERTAIN
DECORUM. I CAN TELL YOU ONE THING, WINIFRED. I DON'T PROPOSE STANDING
IDLY BY... AND LETTING THAT WOMAN, MARY POPPINS,
UNDERMINE THE DISCIPLINE AND-- THERE'S SOMETHING ODD,
I MAY SAY EXTREMELY ODD... ABOUT THE BEHAVIOR OF THIS HOUSEHOLD
SINCE THAT WOMAN ARRIVED. - AND I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT I'VE
NOTICED IT! - YES, DEAR. - ONE THING MORE. - YES, DEAR?
I SUGGEST YOU HAVE THIS PIANO REPAIRED. WHEN I SIT DOWN

THE LADY NEXT DOOR ANSWERED THE BELL, THERE WAS A MAN THERE.
AND THE MAN SAID TO THE LADY, "I'M TERRIBLY SORRY. I JUST
RAN OVER YOUR CAT." - OH, THAT'S SAD. - THE POOR CAT. AND THEN
THE MAN SAID, "I'D LIKE TO REPLACE YOUR CAT." AND THE LADY
SAID, "THAT'S ALL RIGHT WITH ME, BUT HOW ARE YOU AT CATCHING
MICE?" WELL, YOU KNOW I STARTED OUT SAD. I, I TRY, REALLY I DO. BUT,

SUCH AN OCCASION. - WOULD YOU LIKE TO HEAR IT? - I'D BE SO GRATEFUL.
RIGHTO. WELL, IT'S ABOUT ME GRANDDAD, SEE? AND ONE NIGHT,
HE HAD A NIGHTMARE, HE DID. - SO SCARED THAT HE CHEWED
HIS PILLOW TO BITS. - YES. - TO BITS.

FEEL, GRANDDAD?" - YES. HE SAYS, "OH, NOT BAD.
A LITTLE DOWN IN THE MOUTH!" YEAH, I ALWAYS SAY THERE'S NOTHING

- BIT LATE TONIGHT, AREN'T YOU, BANKS? I SAY, BANKS!
IS ANYTHING THE MATTER, BANKS? BANKS! - OH, FATHER,
WE'RE SO GLAD YOU'RE HOME! - WANT TO HEAR A JOKE? WE
HAD THE MOST WONDERFUL AFTERNOON WITH MARY POPPINS. SPEAKING OF
AFTERNOONS, THE JOKE GOES LIKE THIS. I KNOW A MAN WITH A WOODEN LEG
NAMED SMITH. SMITH? WE DON'T KNOW ANYONE CALLED SMITH.
AND THERE WAS A SECOND CHAP, AND THE SECOND CHAP SAYS,
"WHAT'S THE NAME OF HIS OTHER LEG?" AND WE HAD A LOVELY TEA
PARTY ON THE CEILING! OH, CHILDREN, PLEASE BE QUIET.
MARY POPPINS SAYS IF WE'RE GOOD, SHE'LL TAKE US THERE AGAIN.
OH. OH, MARY POPPINS SAID THAT, DID SHE? WILL YOU PLEASE RETURN TO
YOUR ROOM. MARY POPPINS, WILL YOU BE KIND ENOUGH
TO COME WITH ME? AS YOU WISH. MARY POPPINS, I VERY MUCH REGRET WHAT
I MUST SAY TO YOU. - GOOD EVENING, GEORGE. IS ANYTHING
THE MATTER? - I'M AFRAID THERE IS. I, I'D LOVE TO STAY, BUT
I HAVE TO DRESS FOR MY RALLY IN HAMPSTEAD. WINIFRED, IT IS MY
WISH THAT YOU BE PRESENT! OH, YES, GEORGE, OF COURSE. MARY
POPPINS, I MUST CONFESS I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTE
D IN YOU. SHE'S FOR IT NOW. I'VE HEARD THE MASTER DO THIS SPEECH BEFORE.
I DON'T DENY THAT I AM PARTIALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR ALLOWING
THE CHILDREN... TO SPEND THEIR DAYS ON WORTHLESS FRIVOLITY
TO THE EXCLUSION OF ALL ELSE! BUT IT IS HIGH TIME THEY LEARNED
THE SERIOUSNESS OF LIFE! BUT, GEORGE, THEY'RE ONLY
CHILDREN. PRECISELY. AND IN THE LIGHT OF WHAT HAS HAPPENED--
GEORGE, ARE YOU CERTAIN YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING? I BELIEVE I
DO, WINIFRED. A BRITISH BANK IS RUN WITH PRECISION A
BRITISH HOME REQUIRES NOTHING LESS TRADITION, DISCIPLINE AND
RULES MUST BE THE TOOLS WITHOUT THEM DISORDER, CHAOS
MORAL DISINTEGRATION -IN SHORT YOU HAVE A GHASTLY MESS - I QUITE
AGREE. THE CHILDREN MUST BE MOLDED SHAPED AND TAUGHT
THAT LIFE'S A LOOMING BATTLE TO BE FACED AND FOUGHT IN SHORT,
I AM DISTURBED TO HEAR MY CHILDREN TALKING ABOUT... POPPING IN
AND OUT OF CHALK PAVEMENT PICTURES, CONSORTING WITH RACEHORSE
PERSONS, FOX HUNTING. YES, WELL I DON'T MIND THAT QUITE SO MUCH.
AT ANY RATE, IT'S TRADITIONAL. BUT TEA PARTIES ON THE CEILING?
I ASK YOU. HAVING TEA PARTIES ON THE CEILING
AND HIGHLY-QUESTIONABLE OUTINGS OF EVERY OTHER KIND! IF THEY MUST
GO ON OUTINGS THESE OUTINGS OUGHT TO BE FRAUGHT WITH PURPOSE YES,
AND PRACTICALITY THESE SILLY WORDS LIKE SUPERCA-- SUPER-- - SUPERCA-
- - SUPERCALIFRAGILISTIC- EXPIALIDOCIOUS. YES,
WELL DONE. YOU SAID IT. AND POPPING THROUGH PICTURES HAVE
LITTLE USE FULFILL NO BASIC NEED THEY'VE GOT TO LEARN THE HONEST
TRUTH DESPITE THEIR YOUTH THEY MUST LEARN -ABOUT THE LIFE
YOU LEAD - EXACTLY. THEY MUST FEEL THE THRILL
OF TOTTING UP A BALANCED BOOK -A THOUSAND CIPHERS NEATLY IN A ROW
- QUITE RIGHT. WHEN GAZING AT A GRAPH THAT SHOWS THE PROFITS
UP -THEIR LITTLE CUP OF JOY SHOULD OVERFLOW - PRECISELY!
-IT'S TIME THEY LEARNED TO WALK IN YOUR FOOTSTEPS -
MY FOOTSTEPS. -TO TREAD YOUR STRAIGHT AND NARROW
PATH WITH PRIDE - WITH PRIDE. TOMORROW JUST AS YOU
SUGGEST PRESSED AND DRESSED JANE AND MICHAEL WILL BE
AT YOUR SIDE SPLENDID! YOU HIT THE NAIL RIGHT
ON THE-- AT MY SIDE? WHERE ARE WE GOING? TO THE BANK, OF COURSE,
EXACTLY AS YOU PROPOSED. - I PROPOSED? - OF COURSE. NOW, IF YOU'LL
EXCUSE ME. TOMORROW'S AN IMPORTANT DAY FOR THE CHILDREN.
I SHALL SEE THEY HAVE A PROPER NIGHT'S SLEEP. GOOD NIGHT. WINIFRED,
DID I SAY THAT I WAS GOING TO TAKE THE CHILDREN TO THE BANK?
- IT CERTAINLY SOUNDED THAT WAY, DEAR. - OH.
AND WHY NOT? A CAPITAL IDEA! JUST THE MEDICINE THEY NEED
FOR ALL THIS SLIPSHOD, SUGARY... FEMALE THINKING THEY GET AROUND
HERE ALL DAY LONG. QUITE RIGHT. GOOD IDEA. QUITE RIGHT.
GOOD IDEA. QUITE RIGHT. MARY POPPINS, WE WON'T LET YOU GO!
GO? WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? - DIDN'T YOU GET SACKED?
- SACKED? CERTAINLY NOT! I AM NEVER SACKED! - OH, MARY POPPINS!
- HURRAH, HURRAY, HURRAY, - HURRAY, HURRAY, HURRAY-- -
NEITHER AM I A MAYPOLE. KINDLY STOP SPINNING ABOUT ME. - BUT?
- GOATS BUTT, BIRDS FLY, AND CHILDREN WHO ARE GOING
ON AN OUTING WITH THEIR FATHER MUST GET SOME SLEEP. -
COME ALONG, PLEASE. - AN OUTING WITH FATHER? - YES.
- I DON'T BELIEVE IT. - HE'S NEVER TAKEN US ON AN OUTING
BEFORE. - HE'S NEVER TAKEN US ANYWHERE. - HOWEVER DID YOU
MANAGE IT? - MANAGE WHAT? YOU MUST'VE PUT THE IDEA IN
HIS HEAD SOMEHOW. WHAT AN IMPERTINENT THING TO SAY!
ME PUTTING IDEAS INTO PEOPLE'S HEADS? REALLY! - WHERE'S HE
TAKING US? - TO THE BANK. OH, MICHAEL, THE CITY! AND
WE'LL SEE ALL THE SIGHTS, AND FATHER CAN POINT THEM OUT TO US.
WELL, MOST THINGS HE CAN. BUT SOMETIMES A PERSON WE LOVE THROUGH NO
FAULT OF HIS OWN, - CAN'T SEE PAST THE END OF HIS NOSE.
- PAST THE END OF HIS NOSE? YES. SOMETIMES A LITTLE THING CAN
BE QUITE IMPORTANT. OH, LOOK! THE CATHEDRAL. FATHER PASSES
THAT EVERY DAY. HE SEES THAT. EARLY EACH DAY

GOOD EVENING, GENTLEMEN. WELL, GET ON WITH IT. GO ON.
UH, YES, FATHER. IN 1773, AN OFFICIAL OF THIS BANK... UNWISELY
LOANED A LARGE SUM OF MONEY... TO FINANCE A SHIPMENT OF TEA
TO THE AMERICAN COLONIES. - DO YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED? - YES,
SIR. YES, I THINK I DO. UH, UH, AS THE SHIP LAY IN BOSTON HARBOR,
UH, A PARTY OF THE COLONISTS DRESSED AS RED INDIANS... UH,
BOARDED THE VESSEL, BEHAVED VERY RUDELY, AND, AND THREW ALL THE
TEA OVERBOARD. THIS MADE THE TEA UNSUITABLE FOR DRINKING,
EVEN FOR AMERICANS. PRECISELY. THE LOAN WAS DEFAULTED.
PANIC ENSUED WITHIN THESE WALLS. THERE WAS A RUN ON THE BANK!
FROM THAT TIME TO THIS, SIR, THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RUN ON THIS
BANK... UNTIL TODAY! A RUN, SIR, CAUSED BY THE DISGRACEFUL
CONDUCT OF YOUR SON. - DO YOU DENY IT? - I DO NOT DENY IT, SIR.
AND I SHALL BE ONLY TOO GLAD TO ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR MY SON.

GOOD WORD, ACTUALLY. DO YOU KNOW WHAT THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS?
IT TURNS OUT, WITH DUE RESPECT, WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE,
THAT THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS YOU! - IMPERTINENCE, SIR!
- SPEAKING OF IMPERTINENCE, WOULD YOU LIKE TO HEAR A PERFECTLY
MARVELOUS JOKE? - A REAL SNAPPER! - JOKE? SNAPPER? YES. THERE ARE
THESE TWO WONDERFUL YOUNG PEOPLE, JANE AND MICHAEL. AND THEY
MEET ONE DAY ON THE STREET, AND JANE SAYS TO MICHAEL,
"I KNOW A MAN WITH A WOODEN LEG NAMED SMITH." AND MICHAEL
SAYS, "REALLY? WHAT'S THE NAME OF HIS OTHER LEG?" THE
MAN'S GONE MAD. CALL THE GUARD! SUPERCALIFRAGILISTIC-
EXPIALIDOCIOUS. I'M FEELING BETTER ALL THE TIME!
BANKS, DON'T YOU DARE STRIKE MY FATHER! THERE'S THE TUPPENCE.
THE WONDERFUL, FATEFUL... SUPERCALIFRAGILISTIC- EXPIALIDOCIOUS
TUPPENCE. - GUARD IT WELL. GOOD-BYE! - BANKS, WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
I DON'T KNOW. I MIGHT POP THROUGH A CHALK PAVEMENT
PICTURE, AND GO FOR AN OUTING IN THE COUNTRY. OR I MIGHT SEIZE
A HORSE OFF A MERRY-GO-ROUND, AND WIN THE DERBY! OR I MIGHT
JUST FLY A KITE! ONLY POPPINS WOULD KNOW! - POPPINS?
- MY NANNY. SHE'S THE ONE WHO SINGS THAT RIDICULOUS SONG.
A SPOONFUL OF SUGAR MAKES THE MEDICINE GO DOWN THE MEDICINE

WIND CHANGED. ISN'T THAT RIGHT, MARY POPPINS? WILL YOU BRING
ME MY HAT STAND, PLEASE? MARY POPPINS, DON'T YOU LOVE US?
AND WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO ME, MAY I ASK, IF I LOVED

THE GREATEST FAMILY CLASSIC OF ALL TIME, LOUIE. I'M SO PROUD
TO BE IN THIS PICTURE, I CAN'T STAND IT. NOW, A MOMENT OF EXCITEMENT.
FROM THE REACTION OF THE CROWD, IT APPEARS... THAT WALT
DISNEY IS ARRIVING. WALT DISNEY, THE MAN WHO MADE IT ALL POSSIBLE...
BY BRINGINGMARY POPPINS TO THE SCREEN. HE'S MAKING HIS
WAY THROUGH THE ADMIRING CROWD, SURROUNDED BY HIS WONDERFUL
DISNEYLAND CHARACTERS. WALT'S LAST PREMIERE WAS IN 1937...
FORSNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS. - HELLO, WALT. HOW
ARE YOU? - THIS IS MRS. DISNEY. HELLO. HOW DO YOU DO? - HOW'S
EVERYTHING GOING? - WALT, IT'S JUST BEEN THE GREATEST NIGHT...
THAT I'VE EVER SEEN IN HOLLYWOOD AND I'VE BEEN HERE 33 YEARS.
WELL, PEOPLE THAT HAVE SEEN IT JUST SAY THAT IT'S FABULOUS. - YEAH,
WE HAD FOUR OF THEM THERE - JUST FABULOUS. SAY, I'M LOOKING
UP AND I SEE SOMETHING HAPPENING IN THE SKY. HERE COMES MARY
POPPINS NOW! - PERHAPS IT'S A WITCH. - OF COURSE NOT. WITCHES
HAVE BROOMS. IT'S JULIE ANDREWS, INCOMPARABLE BROADWAY STAR...
OFMY FAIR LADY AND CAMELOT, NOW STARRING IN HER FIRST MOTION
PICTURE, AS MARY POPPINS. HOW DID YOU PICK JULIE FOR THE PART?
WELL, UH, I WENT, UH, TO NEW YORK, AND I CAUGHT THE
PERFORMANCE OFCAMELOT. OF COURSE, I'D HEARD HER
RECORDS AND THINGS, BUT IT WASCAMELOT THAT I SAW HER IN. AND THEN
I WENT BACKSTAGE AND I TRIED... TO TALK HER INTO THE THING,
AND, UH, I TRIED TO CONVINCE HER... I WAS CAPABLE OF MAKING A, A
PICTURE WITH, UH, LIVE ACTORS AS WELL AS CARTOONS. I DIDN'T
KNOW WHAT SHE THOUGHT OF ME AND EVERYTHING. I THINK I PUT
ON QUITE A, UH, AN ACT THERE THAT NIGHT, DIDN'T I? I WAS VERY IMPRESSED,
WALT. WELL, YOU MUST HAVE BEEN IMPRESSED, BECAUSE
ALL I CAN TELL YOU... IS THE GENIUS OF JULIE ANDREWS AND THE GENIUS
OF WALT DISNEY... HAVE MADE PROBABLY ONE OF THE ALL-TIME GREAT...
MOTION PICTURES THAT WE'VE EVER MADE IN THIS CRAZY TOWN OF
HOLLYWOOD. YOU KNOW, JULIE, "SPOONFUL OF SUGAR"
THAT YOU SING SUMS UP... - THE WHOLE PERSONALITY OF MARY POPPINS
IN THE PICTURE. - YES, IT DOES. SHE TRIES TO BRING
HAPPINESS TO EVERYONE. AND RIGHT NOW WE'RE GOING TO SHOW OUR
AUDIENCE THAT SONG. FOR A SPOONFUL OF SUGAR HELPS THE MEDICINE GO
DOWN THE MEDICINE GO DOWN MEDICINE GO DOWN JUST A SPOONFUL OF
SUGAR HELPS THE MEDICINE GO DOWN IN A MOST DELIGHTFUL WAY THE HONEYBEES

MICHAEL, LOOK! - PERHAPS IT'S A WITCH. - OF COURSE NOT.
- WITCHES HAVE BROOMS. - IT'S THAT POPPINS WOMAN! MARY POPPINS! OH, OF COURSE.
MARY POPPINS. MARY POPPINS-- IS THAT YOUR NAME? THAT'S HER NAME.
AND HERE'S THE BEHIND-THE-SCENES STORY OF THE MAKING... OF WALT DISNEY'S
SUPERCALIFRAG- ILISTICEXPIALIDOCIOUS MASTERPIECE.
"MARY POPPINS. PRACTICALLY PERFECT IN EVERY WAY." MARY
POPPINS-- WHICH WAS FILMED ON THIS SOUND STAGE-- WAS THE
STUDIO'S TRIUMPH OF SPECIAL EFFECTS, ANIMATION AND LIVE ACTION.
IT ALSO WON FIVE OSCARS-- MORE THAN ANY SINGLE DISNEY FILM HAD, BEFORE
OR SINCE. BUT THOSE OF US WHO WORKED ON THE FILM,
AND ALL OF US WHO HAVE COME TO LOVE IT, KNOW IT WAS THE STORY
BENEATH THE SPECIAL EFFECTS... THAT TURNED THE MOVIE INTO
AN ENDURING CLASSIC. 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.
BECAUSE, AFTER ALL, HE'S THE ONE WHO BROUGHT JULIE ANDREWS... TO
HOLLYWOOD-- FOR THE FIRST TIME-- TO MAKE THIS FILM. WHAT MANY
PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE IS THAT WALT'S DISNEY'S... INTEREST IN MARY
POPPINS DATED BACK TO 1939. MARY POPPINS HAD BEEN PUBLISHED
IN 1934... AND WAS WILDLY POPULAR IN ENGLAND. WALT'S BROTHER,
ROY DISNEY, BEGAN NEGOTIATIONS... WITH THE AUTHOR, P.L. TRAVERS,
IN 1944, WHILE TRAVERS WAS LIVING IN NEW YORK... TO ESCAPE
THE NAZI BOMBINGS OF LONDON. MANY YEARS WENT BY, BUT
THE TENACIOUS MRS. TRAVERS... FINALLY RELEASED THE FILM RIGHTS...
TO THE EQUALLY DETERMINED MR. DISNEY IN 1961. MARY POPPINS
IS A LIVE MUSICAL FANTASY. THE WHOLE STORY IS-IS CARRIED OUT
BY ACTORS, AND IT'S, UH-- OF COURSE WE HAVE A LOT OF TRICKS
OF THE TRADE HERE... THAT WE INCORPORATE INTO MARY POPPINS. INSTEAD
OF GIVING THE BOOK TO A SCREENWRITER OR ANIMATION DIRECTOR,
WALT FIRST CALLED UPON SONGWRITERS TO LOOK ATMARY
POPPINS. OUR SONGWRITERS, DICK AND BOB SHERMAN. THE SHERMAN BROTHERS
HAD STARTED WORKING FOR WALT... DOING INCIDENTAL SONGS, BUT WHEN
HE CAME TO THEM AND PROPOSEDMARY POPPINS, THIS WAS ON A-- AGAIN,
ON A DIFFERENT PLATEAU. HE KNEW IT, AND HE MADE THEM KNOW IT TOO.
HE GOT THEM INVOLVED IN HELPING TO BUILD THE STORY. THE
SONGS CAME OUT OF THE STORY, AND THE STORY LED TO THE SONGS. IT WAS
A PERFECT INTEGRATION OF MUSIC AND STORYTELLING. ONE DAY WALT HANDED
US A BOOK, AND IT WASMARY POPPINS, AND HE SAID, UH, "READ IT
AND TELL ME WHAT YOU FELLAS THINK ABOUT IT." WE CIRCLED
SIX CHAPTERS. - AN AMAZING THING HAPPENED. - WALT OPENED HIS COPY
OF THE BOOK... - AND HE HAD CIRCLED THE SAME
SIX CHAPTERS. - WHAT A FEELING. THE SHERMAN BROTHERS SET TO
WORK WITH STORY MAN DON DAGRADI, WHO DEVELOPED THEIR STORY IDEAS
THROUGH DRAWINGS. DON DAGRADI CAME IN ONE DAY WITH A SKETCH...
OF A LITTLE CHIMNEY SWEEP... CARRYING HIS BROOMS AND WHISTLING,
AND I SAID, "THIS IS A SONG." CHIM CHIMINY, CHIM CHIMINY
CHIM CHIM CHEREE A SWEEP IS AS LUCKY AS LUCKY CAN BE
CHIM CHIMINY, CHIM CHIMINY CHIM CHIM CHEROO GOOD LUCK WILL
RUB OFF WHEN I SHAKES HANDS WITH YOU IN CASTING THE PIVOTAL ROLE
OF THE MAGIC NANNY, A BRIGHT YOUNG MUSICAL STAR CAUGHT WALT'S
EYE. IT'S JULIE ANDREWS, INCOMPARABLE BROADWAY STAR...
OFMY FAIR LADY ANDCAMELOT. HOW DID YOU PICK JULIE FOR THE PART?
WELL, UH, I WENT, UH, TO NEW YORK... AND I CAUGHT
THE PERFORMANCE OFCAMELOT. OF COURSE, I'D HEARD HER
RECORDS AND THINGS, BUT IT WASCAMELOT THAT I SAW HER IN. AND
THEN I WENT BACKSTAGE AND I TRIED TO TALK HER INTO THE THING, AND,
UH, I TRIED TO CONVINCE HER I WAS, UH, CAPABLE OF MAKING
A-- A PICTURE WITH LIVE ACTORS AS WELL AS CARTOONS. I DIDN'T
KNOW WHAT SHE THOUGHT OF ME AND EVERYTHING. I THINK I PUT
ON QUITE A, UH, - AN ACT THERE THAT NIGHT, DIDN'T I?
- I WAS VERY IMPRESSED, WALT. FOR A SPOONFUL OF SUGAR HELPS
THE MEDICINE GO DOWN - THE MEDICINE GO DOWN - WHEN YOU SEE JULIE
ANDREWS INMARY POPPINS... SHE'S SO PERFECT, SHE'S SO WONDERFUL,
YOU WONDER HOW ANYBODY COULD HAVE TURNED HER DOWN-- FOR ANYTHING-
- AND YET, THE GREAT IRONY WAS, THAT WAS THE SAME YEAR THAT
MY FAIR LADY CAME TO THE SCREEN, AND THAT WAS THE ROLE... THAT SHE
HAD MADE HER OWN ON BROADWAY, BUT JACK WARNER... OF WARNER BROTHERS
PASSED HER BY FOR THE MOVIE. HE DIDN'T THINK THAT SHE WAS MOVIE
MATERIAL. IN A CASTING CHOICE THAT MANY CRITICS THOUGHT ODD, WALT
CHOSE ALL-AMERICAN DICK VAN DYKE... AS MARY POPPINS'
COCKNEY COMPANION, BERT. WELL, IT'S MY THIRD MOTION PICTURE,
BUT THE BEST ONE I'VE EVER BEEN IN, THE BEST ONE... I EVER WILL BE
IN, IF I LIVE TO BE 150 YEARS OLD. OH, IT'S A JOLLY HOLIDAY
WITH MARY MARY MAKES YOUR HEART SO LIGHT
YOU HAVEN'T CHANGED A BIT, HAVE YOU? DICK VAN DYKE WAS KNOWN
BY THEN AS THE STAR... OF HIS WEEKLY TV COMEDY SERIES, AND, UH, HE
WAS WONDERFUL IN IT. BUT HE'D ALREADY BEEN ON BROADWAY AS A MUSICAL...
COMEDY STAR IN BYE BYE BIRDIE, AND... MARY POPPINS LET HIM
SHOW ALL HIS TALENTS. A NATURAL DANCER, A WONDERFUL SINGER, A
MAN OF JUST TREMENDOUS CHARM AND PRESENCE. CHILD ACTORS KAREN
DOTRICE AND MATTHEW GARBER, WHO HAD STARRED IN DISNEY'S THREE
LIVES OF THOMASINA, WERE CAST AS THE BANKS CHILDREN, JANE AND MICHAEL.
WE BETTER KEEP AN EYE ON THIS ONE. - SHE'S
TRICKY. - SHE'S WONDERFUL. FILM AND STAGE STAR GLYNIS JOHNS...
WAS CAST AS THE SUFFRAGETTE, MRS. BANKS. I DON'T
THINK WE NEED BOTHER THE POLICE, DEAR. - THE FACTS OF THE MATTER-
- - KINDLY DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLOUD THE ISSUE WITH FACTS. PRIM
BRITISH ACTOR DAVID TOMLINSON... JOINED MARY POPPINS AS MR. BANKS.
DISNEY FAVORITE ED WYNN MADE A CAMEO APPEARANCE AS UNCLE ALBERT.
AND THE ROLE OF THE BIRD WOMAN WAS PLAYED BY JANE DARWELL,
BEST KNOWN FOR HER ROLE AS MA JOAD INTHE GRAPES OF WRATH. MARY
POPPINS WAS HER LAST FILM. BUT ESTABLISHING A DISTINGUISHED HUMAN
CAST FOR MARY POPPINS... WAS ONLY HALF THE JOB. THERE WAS AN ANIMATED
CAST OF COSTARS TOO, AND ALL OF THESE ACTORS HAD TO PERFORM
TOGETHER... IN A FANTASY WORLD. COMBINING ACTORS AND ANIMATED CHARACTERS ALLOWS YOU...
TO CREATE SCENES AND SITUATIONS... THAT COULD NEVER HAPPEN IN REAL LIFE.
LONG BEFORE ROGER RABBIT WAS JUST
A GLEAM IN AN ANIMATOR'S EYE, WALT DISNEY WAS EXPERIMENTING
WITH A WAY TO PLACE PEOPLE... IN AN ANIMATED WORLD. THIS RARE SILENT
FILM WAS MADE IN 1923. LIVE ACTION AND ANIMATION CAME TOGETHER...
IN SEAMLESS PERFECTION, IN A FILM THAT BECAME A CLASSIC.
THANK YOU. MENU HASN'T CHANGED IN 25 YEARS. YOU'VE PUT ON
A LITTLE WEIGHT THOUGH, MAX. LOOKING AT THAT SCENE FROMMARY POPPINS,
YOU MUST BE ASKING YOURSELF ONE OF TWO QUESTIONS: "HOW DID
THEY PUT JULIE AND ME IN THAT SCENE?" OR, "WHEN DID VAN DYKE'S HAIR
TURN WHITE?" WE'LL ATTACK THESE ONE AT A TIME. FIRST, THE
DASHING YOUNG PERFORMER IS FILMED... DANCING IN FRONT
OF A NEUTRAL BACKGROUND. NEXT, PENCIL SKETCHES OF THE ANIMATED
CHARACTERS... ARE CREATED AS A GUIDE. WHEE! WHEE! WHEE! THE PENGUINS
AND THE BACKGROUND ARE FULLY ANIMATED. AND FINALLY, THE
ELEMENTS ARE COMBINED. IT'S A JOLLY HOLIDAY WITH MARY
NO WONDER THAT IT'S MARY THAT WE LOVE THE WARM AND NOSTALGIC
LONDON SETTINGS FORMARY POPPINS... WERE ALSO CREATED BY MOVIE MAGIC,
ENTIRELY AT THE DISNEY STUDIO. IN THE '50S, WALT HAD ALSO
ACQUIRED THE SERVICES... OF A VERY TALENTED PAINTER NAMED PETER ELLENSHAW,
WHO BECAME THE UNDISPUTED MASTER OF THE MATTE PAINTING,
WHICH IS A PAINTING ON GLASS. YOU PAINT ON A PIECE OF
GLASS THAT'S THEN POSITIONED IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA. WHEN
THE CAMERA LOOKS AT THE PAINTING... AND THERE'S A PIECE OF GLASS
LEFT OPEN, THE PIECE OF GLASS THAT'S CLEAR SEES THE ACTUAL SET...
AND COMBINES IT WITH THE PAINTING. I PAINTED A VIEW OF
THE CITY OF LONDON AT-- IN LATE AFTERNOON, AND THE SUN HAD ALREADY
GONE DOWN IN THE PAINTING. AND BEHIND THE GLASS-- 'CAUSE I'D PAINTED
IT ON GLASS, AS I HAVE ON THIS, HAD ON THIS ONE-- MADE
LITTLE HOLES IN THE PAINT... SO THAT WE COULD PUT LIGHTS
BACK OF IT... AND THE LIGHTS WOULD ALL COME ON GRADUALLY, ALL
OVER THE CITY, OR APPEAR TO. IN MANY WAYS,MARY POPPINS... WAS
PETER ELLENSHAW'S MASTERPIECE AS WELL AS WALT'S... BECAUSE
HE PAINTED 102 GLASS PAINTINGS, AND THEY'RE JUST BRILLIANT. YOU
KNOW, THE CAST NEVER LEFT BURBANK. NOT ONLY DIDN'T THEY EVER
LEAVE BURBANK, THEY DIDN'T SET FOOT OUTDOORS. THEY NEVER WENT OUTSIDE
A SOUND STAGE, AND YET THIS FILM TAKES PLACE ON THE ROOFTOPS
OF LONDON, IN THE SKIES OVER LONDON, AND A VARIETY OF FANCIFUL
SETTINGS, AND MANY OF THOSE SETTINGS WERE MADE POSSIBLE... AND
TANGIBLE BY ELLENSHAW'S GREAT ARTISTRY. EVEN WALT'S NEWEST
TECHNOLOGY, AUDIO-ANIMATRONICS, HAD A FEATURED ROLE INMARY
POPPINS. THIS IS A LITTLE ROBIN THAT WE HAD IN MARY POPPINS,
- AH. I SEE. - AND THIS LITTLE BIRD SANG A DUET
WITH JULIE ANDREWS. MARK BREAUX AND DEE DEE WOOD, WHO HAD ASSISTED...
LEGENDARY CHOREOGRAPHER MICHAEL KIDD, WERE BROUGHT
ON TO DIRECT THE DANCING, NOT ONLY OF THE PRINCIPAL CAST,
BUT OF CHIMNEY SWEEPS, BANK EXECUTIVES, AND EVEN PENGUINS.
MARY POPPINS STEP IN TIME IN THIS RARE, NEVER-BEFORE-
SEEN FOOTAGE, THE CHIMNEY SWEEPS REHEARSE THE LIVELY "STEP IN TIME"
NUMBER... IN THE SUMMER HEAT ON THE DISNEY BACK LOT. CHOREOGRAPHER
DEE DEE WOOD STANDS IN FOR JULIE ANDREWS. THAT'S IT! HERE WE GO!
- AIN'T SHE MARVELOUS? - AIN'T SHE BEAUTIFUL? LOVELY TILL YA, MUM.
THIS RAUCOUS ROUTINE WAS SUGGESTED... BY ENGLISHMAN PETER ELLENSHAW,
AND BASED ON A TRADITIONAL BRITISH PUB DANCE, "KNEES UP, MOTHER
BROWN." WALT CAME, SAT DOWN. "ALL RIGHT. WHAT ARE YOU GONNA
DO?" I SAID, "WELL, IT'S THIS DANCE... THAT I LEARNED
IN ENGLAND, WALT." AND, UH, HE WAS A KIND OF COOL AUDIENCE.
IT WAS CALLED "KNEES UP, MOTHER," AND YOU LINK ARMS AND YOU
DANCE ACROSS THE ROOM. STEP IN TIME! STEP IN TIME! STEP IN TIME! COME ON, MATEY!
STEP IN TIME! - STEP IN TIME! - MARY POPPINS,
STEP IN TIME! ALL THROUGH 1964, EVERY SOUND STAGE AT THE DISNEY STUDIO...
BUSTLED WITH THE PRODUCTION OFMARY POPPINS. I NEVER SAW
A SAD FACE AROUND THE STUDIO. THIS MADE ME NERVOUS. THEN THE HORRIBLE
THOUGHT STRUCK ME-- SUPPOSE THE STAFF HAD
FINALLY CONCEDED THAT I KNEW WHAT I WAS DOING. THIS RARE OUTTAKE
EXEMPLIFIES THE HAPPY MOOD... OF THEMARY POPPINS PRODUCTION.
CHIM CHIMINY, CHIM CHIMINY CHIM CHIM CHEREE WHEN
YOU'RE WITH A SWEEP YOU'RE IN GLAD COMPANY NOWHERE IS THERE A
MORE HAPPIER CREW THEN THEM WHAT SINGS CHIM CHIM CHEREE CHIM CHEROO
- FIRE! - LIGHT UP THE SKY. IT'S THE ENTERTAINMENT
THRILL OF A LIFETIME. WHILEMARY POPPINS WAS IN PRODUCTION,
DISNEY GEARED UP ONE OF THE LARGEST AND MOST ENTHUSIASTIC...
PROMOTIONAL CAMPAIGNS IN THE HISTORY OF THE STUDIO. MARY POPPINS-
- THE FABULOUS ADVENTURES... OF THE WORLD'S MOST CHARMING
AND DELIGHTFULLY ECCENTRIC HEROINE. IN GRAND
HOLLYWOOD STYLE, MARY POPPINS MET THE WORLD. TONIGHT, ALL OF HOLLYWOOD
AWAITS THE WORLD PREMIERE... OF WALT DISNEY'S MARY POPPINS.
HERE IN THE FORECOURT OF THE RENOWNED GRAUMAN'S CHINESE
THEATER, THERE'S A SURGE OF EXCITEMENT. FAMOUS STARS ARE CHEERED
BY THE CROWDS. CRITICS GREETED THE FILM WITH RAVES UNLIKE
ANY... SEEN AT DISNEY SINCE SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS.
IN 1965,MARY POPPINS WAS HONORED... WITH 13 ACADEMY AWARD NOMINATIONS
, AND WENT ON TO WIN FIVE OSCARS, INCLUDING BEST ACTRESS
FOR THE WOMAN... WHO WASN'T CONSIDERED "MOVIE MATERIAL,"
JULIE ANDREWS. OH, THIS IS LOVELY. UH, I KNOW YOU AMERICANS ARE FAMOUS FOR YOUR HOSPITALITY,
BUT THIS IS REALLY RIDICULOUS. IN 1991,
JULIE ANDREWS WAS HONORED... AT THE DISNEY STUDIO AS A "DISNEY
LEGEND." MARY POPPINS WAS THE FIRST FILM I EVER MADE.
UH, WALT WAS KIND ENOUGH TO BRING ME TO HOLLYWOOD, AND IT WAS THE
BEST LEARNING EXPERIENCE I COULD EVER HAVE HAD. APART FROM ANYTHING
ELSE, IT TAUGHT ME HOW TO FLY. MARY POPPINS ALSO WON AN OSCAR...
FOR ITS FANTASTIC VISUAL EFFECTS. THE SHERMAN BROTHERS'
MUSICAL SCORE WON AN ACADEMY AWARD, AS DID THEIR POPULAR SONG, "CHIM
CHIM CHER-EE." AWARDS AND ACCOLADES ASIDE, IN MARY POPPINS,
WALT DISNEY FOUND A SPECIAL MEANING THAT MOVED HIM DEEPLY.
THIS WAS WALT DISNEY'S OFFICE. AND OFTEN, ON FRIDAYS,
HE'D ASK US... TO COME DOWN AND, AND TALK WITH HIM. THEN
HE'D SAY, UH, HE'D LOOK TO ME AND SAY, "PLAY IT." AND, UH, I PRETTY
MUCH KNEW WHAT HE WANTED. HE WANTED TO HEAR HIS FAVORITE
SONG. EVERY TIME I PLAYED IT, HE WOULD SORT OF GO OUT, LOOK AT THE
WINDOW, LOOK OUTSIDE, AND GET A LITTLE MISTY-EYED. IT WAS
REALLY HIS VERY FAVORITE. AFTER HE WAS GONE, I'D STILL COME
DOWN... ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND PLAY IT FOR HIM. EARLY EACH DAY
TO THE STEPS OF SAINT PAUL'S THE LITTLE OLD BIRD WOMAN
COMES IN THE END, THE FILM THAT TOUCHED HIM SO PERSONALLY... WAS
ALSO WALT DISNEY'S GREATEST PROFESSIONAL TRIUMPH. I THINK HE
SAW-- AS HE ALWAYS HAD A KNACK OF SEEING-- HE SAW IN THIS MATERIAL
SOMETHING FAR ABOVE THE ORDINARY, SOMETHING THAT WAS
WORTH SPENDING TIME AND MONEY... TO TURN INTO SOMETHING THAT MIGHT
LIVE ON, AND MIGHT BE MORE THAN JUST ANOTHER GOOD MOVIE.
AND INDEED, THAT'S WHAT HE BUILT. HE BUILT HIMSELF A GREAT MOVIE
THAT I THINK IS HIS MASTERPIECE. GOOD-BYE, MARY POPPINS. DON'T
STAY AWAY TOO LONG. BEFORE SHOOTING BEGAN ONMARY POPPINS, THE
ENTIRE FILM WAS PLANNED OUT SHOT BY SHOT... IN STORYBOARD DRAWINGS.
THE FOLLOWING IS PART OF THE "JOLLY HOLIDAY" SEQUENCE FROM THE
