In 1910 nanny Mary Poppins arrives in London, borne by the wind on her umbrella. Thus begins a heaven on earth for Michael and Jane Banks. They fly, dance on rooftops, meet animated animals and learn all sorts of unimaginable things. Featuring Julie Andrews in her debut role, Mary Poppins is a splendid musical packed with unforgettable songs (e.g. A Spoonful of Sugar, Chim Chim Cher-ee and Feed the Birds). The film won five Oscars (out of 13 nominations) – Best Actress (Julie Andrews), Editing, Special Effects, Original Song (Chim Chim Cher-ee) and Original Score (Richard M. Sherman, Robert B. Sherman). December 2018 will see the premiere of Rob Marshall’s Mary Poppins Returns, starring Emily Blunt in the titular role. “Mary Poppins is a fanciful cinematic poem about how imagination can change the way we look at the world.” Milan Lasica
