l964 it was filmed, it may have been released as late as l965. I can recall seeing it at the State Theater (In Jersey City) in that year. somewhat oddly programs which were essentially edited-down playbooks were sold in the theatre lobby, this is rare with movies but then that was a Disney production. I didn"t like it. I didn"t like the stage version- wouldn"t waste time ont he film of (The Sound of Music) either. One too sweet-talked and the other too phoney. on the second film,nobody in their right mind is bouncy-wouncy or Happy-Go-Luciky about a dog bite! It hurts!=and if from a pet involves a major breach of trust, this is heavy stuff not laugh it off type of mishap like maybe falling in soft snow- quite timely!

According to the Disney film, one of the songs clearly states it takes place in the year 1910. However, the first book was published originally in 1934 and referring to the illustrations indicates that these stories were 'modern' at that time. The children's clothing is not consistent with 1910, nor is the language. Disney also added the word Supercalifragilisticexpialidoucious, which is not in the book, although Mary does say spit spot and straviage.
It is about the turn of the century, the end of the Victorian Era. And it appears to be before World War I.
London, England. 1930's.
Oh, dude, like, Mary Poppins asks Jane if she has a handkerchief under her pillow because she knows that Jane might cry at night. I mean, who doesn't need a good cry now and then, right? So, Mary Poppins is just making sure Jane is prepared for those emotional moments, like a true magical nanny should.
Mary Poppins was created in 1934.
She doesn't have a phone. You have to write a note, tear it up, throw it in the fireplace, and let the wind take it up the chimney, remember? Seriously, Mary Poppins is not a real person. P. L. Travers invented the character to use in a series of books. Julie Andrerws later played Mary in the movie.
The book by Pamela L Travers (not related to the Mary of Peter, Paul, and Mary, by the way) was written in l934. Events take place prior to World War I, in the movie one of the songs states l9l0. The movie was released in l964- the Broadway show- which is probably different in many ways- has only been out more recently. Mary and Bert are sort of Jane Addams types with a miore middle-class focus and have super-powers. There is more than a little occultism.
