Movies viewed in 2017 (338 movies items)"1/5/17 Fascinating film about how Mary Poppins almost never got made due to the stubbornness of its creator, P.L. Travers. Cutting from her childhood to her time working on the script and being wooed by Walt Disney, Emma Thompson is terrific as Travers, while Tom Hanks brings a gentle calmness to his Disney. Funny, sweet and moving, it makes you look at the family classic in a different way."

My Movie Diary 2016 (235 movies items)"6.15Moving story of P.L. Travers (Emma Thomspon), the woman who wrote the children's book Mary Poppins and Walt Disney (Tom Hanks) whose 10 year courtship to make the book into a movie unfolds here with emotional tenderness. Emma Thompson is absolutely engaging as Travers, a woman besieged by love and guilt for his father--the basis of the character Mr. Banks."
