Mary Poppins (1964) Recap and Review (S4: E2)

What do Biggie Smalls, Julie Andrews, and Dick Van Dyke have in common? Did Mary Poppins have powers or was it the childrens’ imagination? And, did she and Bert have a little sumthin’ sumthin’ going on? 

 

On this episode of The Wright Perspective Podcast, siblings Aubrey, Genia and Brittany Wright celebrate Julie Andrews’ birthday with a recap and discussion of Mary Poppins (1964)  starring Julie Andrews and featuring  Dick Van Dyke, David Tomlinson, and Glynis Johns in supporting roles.

 

After giving Julie Andrews her flowers (01:35), picking a voting symbol (04:13) and doing a recap (08:06), our hosts dig into the questions above as they examine the movie plot (12:38) and share stories from their childhood, including an original song (17:27).  The siblings then examine the casting and performances (32:57), sets and production process (50:15) and then wrap with a vote on whether this movie is a classic from The Wright Perspective (01:19:05).
