A banker's search for a nanny brings the magical Mary Poppins to his door.

Musical comedy. London banker George Banks' search for the perfect nanny for his two naughty children brings the magical Mary Poppins (Julie Andrews) into their lives.

Musical comedy set in London circa 1910. The wind is in the east and carries with it Mary Poppins, a practically perfect nanny who answers an advertisement to look after the children of a stuffy banker and his suffragette wife. Poppins soon takes the kids on a magical tour, jumping into pavement drawings, dancing on rooftops and levitating towards ceilings, all with the assistance of Bert, a busking chimney sweep.
