Comment
The writer of Mary Poppins goes to Los Angeles to meet with Walt Disney to discuss the turning of her book into a film. She is not keen on the book being turned into a Disney film, but needs the money, however she insists on having lots of control over how the film is made. The story is told with a series of flash backs to her childhood in Australis and her relationship with her parents. Emma Thomson is good as the author P L Travers as is Tom Hanks as Walt Disney. Annie Rose Buckley as the young P L Travers steals all the scenes she appers in.
