Saving Mr. Banks (Blu-ray)

Saving Mr. Banks

The story of the film adaptation of the classic Disney feature film Mary Poppins. When Walt Disney promised his daughters that they would make a film based on their favorite book, Pamela Travers' fairy tale "Mary Poppins", he had no idea that it would take him more than twenty years to fulfill this promise. In an attempt to obtain the film rights to the book, Walt encountered a capricious and intractable British writer, who in no way wanted her beloved heroine to be “spoiled” by the Hollywood approach to filmmaking. Only in the early sixties did she agree to come to Los Angeles in person and begin negotiations for a film adaptation. For two weeks in 1961, while negotiations with Pamela Travers lasted, Walt Disney tried all the tricks. He presented ideas and sketches for the film, tried to impress the writer with magnificent music written by talented composers, the Sherman brothers, and even organized excursions to Disneyland - however, Travers did not agree to any persuasion, and the famous filmmaker almost abandoned his plan.
