Our suggestions
Author P.L. Travers reflects on her childhood after reluctantly meeting with Walt Disney, who seeks to adapt her Mary Poppins books for the big screen.
""Mary Poppins" is a true classic of musical and fantasy cinema in the Disney repertoire, and the story of its creation is just as fascinating - and moving. "The Dream of Walt" (it must be said, the original "Saving Mr. Banks" is much more appropriate) may be too covered in saccharine sentimentality, but when it comes to Disney, "Mary Poppins" and the brilliant performances by both Tom Hanks and Emma Thompson (nominated for a Golden Globe), it's impossible not to succumb to its charms."
