I’ll steer clear of any and all controversies here, but I do want to say that Mary Poppins is the first movie I remember seeing (it might well be the first movie I ever saw - we did not go to the movies much at all) and I still remember how much my whole family enjoyed it. It’s a very happy and special memory to me.
The movie was a wonderful way to spend a few hours. All those who want to find ‘deeper’ meanings in every movie they see probably should not go to the movies.
The score was wonderful and watching Dick Van Dyke and Julie Andrews together was just plain old fun
