Zenith of Old Hollywood: Mary Poppins (1964)

Ready for more New Hollywood? Hold your horses! Let’s first see what the films of the late 60s and 70s were reacting to by going *back* to the eras and movements that directly preceded New Hollywood. This week finds Elena and Sam traveling back to the zenith of Old Hollywood to discuss Walt Disney’s Mary Poppins. Topics include the film’s depiction of the women’s suffrage movement, the world of children vs the world of adults, and of course the tempestuous relationship between Disney and Mary Poppins’ author P.L. Travers.
