On August 27, 1964, with great critical praise, Mary Poppins, a movie musical is released by Walt Disney Pictures and Buena Vista Distribution. It is based on the Mary Poppins series of children’s books written by P. L. Travers and illustrated by Mary Shepard.
Songs in the film are by Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman.
Mary Poppins was famously nominated for thirteen Academy Awards, making Mary Poppins as the Oscar most-nominated Disney-film. Although the film was favored highly to win the Best Picture award in 1965, it lost the award to My Fair Lady, another musical film. (Note: Julie Andrews originated the role of Eliza Doolittle on stage.) Mary Poppins still managed to win five awards out of thirteen, most notably Best Actress for Julie Andrews for her portrayal as Mary Poppins.
In 2006 this film ranked #6 on the American Film Institute’s list of best musicals. Since I grew up in the 1960s, I remember Mary Poppins as a very memorable experience.
