Reviewer notes
RecommendedI don't think I'd ever actually watched this film all the way through before, but it is well worth it. "Jane" (Karen Dotrice) and brother "Michael" (Matthew Garber) are ploughing through their nannies with Von Trapp style enthusiasm when father "George" (David Tomlinson) decides to wrest control of the recruitment process from suffragette wife "Winnifred" (Glynis Johns) to hopefully find a more permanent solution....
RecommendedTrusted family reviewersOf course everyone knows Mary Poppins. Loved it growing up. My family loves it now. I also still love this movie. I always will. Classic!
Not recommendedSet in Edwardian London, Jane and Michael Banks are two children in a middle class London suburb. Their parents are distant from the children and each nanny they employ leaves in exasperation after the chaos the children cause. The children's father is a banker who is cold towards them and their mother is too busy with the suffragette movement.They want the perfect nanny and in a sudden gust of wind, Mary Poppi...
