I think she wanted a better family than what she had and she i guess wanted a family of her own but it backfired when she adopted and didn't know how to take care of a child but that doesn't mean she was a great writer.Take Agatha Christie,she didn't know what marriage was and she was a great writer

Her life story shows us how important social heritage is. Our upbringing and environment shapes us! We parent our children the way we were taught by our parents, (if we don't actively learn to do it differently)!

I think the biographer was wrong when she stated that the young readers would not necessarily pick up on the "cosmic" nature of Mary Poppins. I did and it was rather creepy. The movie is rather creepy. Like the force behind the character could turn evil or silent or vengeful at any moment. I liked the book and the movie, but it always had a dark side to it for me, even as a child.

I've always had a love-hate relationship with Mary Poppins. On the one hand, it was a huge influence on my childhood and the lighthearted scenes brought me great joy, on the other hand, however, there were scenes that deeply creeped me out and still do to this day. When I watch the movie I still skip over all of the bank scenes for example.

Being a fan of Disney's version since age 3 when already in my teens, I found two of the original books on flea markets. I read them aloud to my mom. And I couldn't help but wonder about some unexpected ... eastern philosophic moments in the books. Now I know why. Amazing documentary

The original movie was so wonderful. Mary Poppins is the original strong female character. So many childhood memories. Saving Mr Banks made me cry. It's all an incredible story.

this was an extremely fascinating story behind a classic childhood movie of mine! I really appreciate the twists and turns emotionally the author went through. I think we can all relate to that need to reach out for help. great upload thank you!

Her comments about her writing "coming to her" and "writing itself" remind me of composers like Tchaikovsky.

I had all the books - they are even better than the movie. P.L. Travers wrote those delightful books. I still have them.

An unexpectedly emotional and somewhat tragic backstory to the books.

The visual inserts in this program - clock face, old-fashioned kitchen items, door handle etc - many shown from child's-eye level - add terrific atmospheric depth.

Yes, but in the end she abandoned her own children! I feel for them! Now they have to figure out how to deal with their abandonment. To sad!

But she was correct - look at what they did with "Pooh" - read the books - very different from the Disneyfied version.

I agree that PL Travers probably thought it, but Bert didn't take Mary Poppins' place in saving Mr. Banks. She set the whole climax of the movie in motion purposefully; no competent nanny would think that two energetic children in a bank all day would be anything but a disaster. Bert IS the one who has the literal moment with Banks, but Banks also strikes me as the kind of character that would not take advice from a woman as easily. Bert is a very enthusiastic pawn in the game Mary is playing, he's acting on her behalf. Even if he isn't, that moment doesn't happen without Mary conning Banks into taking the children to work with him.

Many writers would tell you they're just taking dictation, or that the idea jumped on them from outside themselves, or that they just watch the story and write down what they see. It's not an unusual phenomenon. Creativity has been thought of as a gift rather than an inborn thing for millenia. Travers was in a long tradition.

Never saw the movie or read the books, but this was still very interesting! I feel oddly comforted by a character I don't even know. Very inspiring and intriguing.

I wonder if her actions during the creation of the film was more from a deep desire to not give up her creation. maybe she was oping she would be ridiculous enough, Disney would drop the project. Authors are deeply attached to their work.some may difficulty letting go.

Thought just occurred to me... the right writer and director for her Mary Poppins might have been Tim Burton. I'm not into remakes, but that would be an interesting version.

What a sad story, but I understand her taking only one child. She might not have seen herself suited to raise two, she could hardly handle her own life. She was a writer who spent an awful lot of time in her creative world. The fact that she didn't have a partner shows that she couldn't deal with personal relationships well. Oh well...life is life.

I just finished watching this documentary " The Real Mary Poppins". They make a LOT of assumptions about PL Traver's dad.

I was really saddened by how much that was actually presumptions was presented as fact.

Wow!

I never liked the Mary Poppins books but loved the movie. I have never been very enthusiastic about fantasy literature. However, I absolutely love everything Harry Potter which I discovered as a middle aged adult, far too old to be a 'Potter-Head', which I am. The Mary Poppins book character seemed to me to be a bit harsh, not like the softer Julie Andrews portrayal.

I'm remembering Charlaine Harris's answer to people who didn't like the treatment her Sookie Stackhouse books got for TV. She just said flat out that she had sold the tv rights, and she had no say in how the TV show was being done. Not her responsibility or problem. Then she just went on and wrote her books the way she wanted to. And the books were a lot better than the show. Seems like Pamela just couldn't let go. She wanted complete control of a medium she didn't know. There was no way she was going to be dictating her commands to the Disney studio, as much as she believed she could. She was a writer,not a film maker. If I was Walt Disney, I would have just said "Fine, keep your books, I'll do another movie". And I would have stomped off, never to take her phone calls or telegrams again.

You do realize it's her books. The movie is nothing like move. Then Disney has to name it Disney's Mary Poppins. When it was never his.

I honestly don't know if Travers would've gotten along with J.R.R. Tolkien. Surprisingly and sadly, Tolkien hated Disney, too. But I don't know if was on the same level as Travers herself. And I honestly don't know if they would ever get along based on their respective ideas of storytelling and creativity. Because as far as I know, Travers was very critical and she probably wouldn't even like *The Hobbit* or *The Lord of the Rings* by commentating Tolkien as being an eccentric who belongs in a madhouse.
