Mary Poppins (1964) | Ep. 53 - Part 1

Walt Disney spent twenty years trying to convince a deeply reluctant author to let him make this film at all. John, Westy, and Matt begin the story.In Part 1 we cover the film's opening, director Robert Stevenson, the cast, and the second act — including Julie Andrews's screen debut, Dick Van Dyke's much-discussed accent, and the groundbreaking blend of live action and animation.Practically perfect, but not quite finished. Part 2 floats in next: crew, finale, reception, legacy. Out now.Connect with ATRM: To join our fantastic community of film fans, support what we do, access our archive, listen to exclusive episodes, and a whole lot more, become an ATRM patron:⁠⁠⁠Join the ATRM Community⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ We're available on any podcast platform:Listen on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Listen on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to our channel⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠We're across all major social channels too:Twitter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@ATRightMovies⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@allthe_rightmovies ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join our movie group⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Bluesky: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@alltherightmovies.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@alltherightmovies⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠alltherightmovies.com
