A spoonful of sugar helps The Behind the Scenes Pic of the Day go down!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with today’s Behind the Scenes pic!
I have an ungodly crush on Mary Poppins/Sound of Music-era Julie Andrews. Huge. And it’s a crush that has developed over years. As a kid she was an adult woman and I didn’t really see her in that light, but when I grew up… well, suddenly I get why that crazy animated turtle was so willing to float Ms. Poppins across the pond and why the bashful penguin waiter kept hitting on her.
Mary Poppins was a cornerstone film of my youth. The film evoked all kinds of emotions from me… laughter at the crazy Uncle Albert floating on the ceiling, terror as that fucking horrible old beggar woman tried to abduct and, I’m sure of it, eat the poor Banks children, fantasy as the children go on all sorts of adventures through sidewalk paintings an on the rooftops of London.
To this day it’s still one of my favorite movies and thanks to a reader calling herself “Regions Beyond” we now have a BTS look at the film involving a pissed off (or “cross” as they say over the pond) looking Julie Andrews and her animatronic bird friend.
Here’s the pic! Click for the bigger version! Enjoy!
If you have a pic you think should be included email me. I’m looking for the iconic, the rare or the just plain cool behind the scenes shots to feature here.
Tomorrow’s Behind the Scenes Pic is slimey and gory! You’ll love it!

and shoulda said FIRST while i was at it shouldn't i?

And yeah, Mary Poppins suddenly got hot post-puberty, hehe.

Just wanted to be clear on that.

Great movie, but her severe Victorian chastity was off-putting
by Jollymorphic
I mean, c'mon. Look at all that stuff Dick Van Dyke was doing for her. She could have loosened up a smidge.
-
So say we all.
-
that every song in Mary Poppins had some sort of drug reference in it, the most obvious being A Spoonful of Sugar.
-
based in this kind of industry.
-
that was weird.
-
Yeah, one of my favourites, too. Just the scene with Mr. Banks walking up to the imposing bank where he works, late that evening, knowing he's getting sacked but going anyway. Duty and all that. And the old lady feeding the birds. And the amazing mattes. . Jollymorphic - Read the novels. Compared to that, the film version of Poppins was a barrel of laughs.
-
The use of the torn kite to represent the broken state of the family and the selfless mending of it by the staunch banker-father's simple gesture of "tuppence" is one of the more layered and beautiful uses of visual metaphor I've ever seen. Not to mention, its arc is further developed at every turn by dramatically necessary uses of SONG make it one of the most succinct musicals written for the screen. Underappreciated masterpiece for sure.
-
... right now.
-
Something tells me that the camera crew's behavior was unasseptabull.
-
I always had the hots for Ms. Andrews also.. She looked very hot in Torn Curtian and The Americanization of Emily...but she really was every boys ideal of a nanny or babysitter after seeing Mary Poppins..that is boys that like hot nannys..
-
I mean, I know she is straight, but she always had a sort of "manly" affectation to her, IMHO.
-
Til I had kids. Glad I finally did though. And those damn songs sure stick in yer head for awhile.
-
I'd forgotten how beautiful she was.
-
Chim Chim Charu!
-
got nude. It was a very memorable moment in my young life.
-
It had everything you expect from Disney: great songs, great animation, live action, and even audio-animatronics. Right up there with Snow White, Fantasia, Mickey Mouse, and Disneyland in terms of milestones.
-
the highly under-rated David Tomlinson. His performance in this makes me well up.
-
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Poppins <p> I always wondered myself.
-
I'm a classically trained actress dammitt..why should I be holding this fake fucking bird!
-
David Tomlinson makes this movie for me. He is brilliant. This movie makes me cry. His performance makes me cry. I LOVE this movie.
-
"Like Ricky Rouse, or Monald Muck!"
-
I watched Mary Poppins within the last year for the 100th time or so and was still totally enchanted. First time was on the big screen, first run, and even though I was a little past the target age for this sort of film I still loved every moment of it. A film that truly deserves to be called "a timeless classic", and it will NEVER need a remake because it is virtually flawless in every detail. Just put out a Bluray deluxe edition ASAP, and if Disney was smart they'd be re-releasing it on the big screen. NOW, goddammit!!!
-
Surely you mean practically perfect in every way.
-
Even though the sound of it something quite atrocious!
-
Just a few years away from the Summer of Love and Vietnan
-
..having some sound guys in a still frame shouldn't constitute a "behind the scenes" photo. Maybe these should only be posted when a cool one comes along and not necessarily one a day. Some of these shots are really cool moments of these films in production, some of them are just stiffs standing around waiting for someone to hit the clapboard. I applaud the effort, but hold out for the good ones, some of these shots are pure boredom.
-
About the movie where she shows her boobs.

I went from this film in 1964 to A Hard Days Night w/t the Beatles in the same year...I'll never forget the lines around the theater for a Hard Days Night...it was a pretty amazing time to be young.

I have nothing else to say about it really, because these shots said nothing.

Evans has arms bigger then tree trunks, he may be the first actor to actually have an overdrawn and stylized superhero's body on film

useless trivia: the old man who was the president of the bank
by KilliK
and starts laughing after hearing the joke was Van Dyke as well.
-
mentioned the scene with Mr. Banks walking through London at night. My favorite scene as well.
-
Coincidence??? Maybe...maybe not.
-
"FAT BOTTOM GIRLS YOU MAKE THE ROCKIN' WORLD GO ROUND" <p> "How'd do Miz Mairy? Can I get you an' ice cream?"...
-
Although I guess technically she wasn't a Maid. Matron perhaps?
-
but love Sound of Music, and Julie Andrews. Quint, you got any SOM BTS pics?
-
Owe a great deal to Julie Andrews and the original Mary Poppins by Travers
-
*THUNK*
-
...that bird shocked her once during the filming of that scene. True story. See the wire leading from the bird to the back of her arm? That was the cable that powered the bird, and once, there was a short and the bird shocked her. Animatronics were in their infancy then, and electronic glitches were common at first (read some of the stories about the electronic "fits" the animatronic Mr.Lincoln went through every time the Monorail started up at Disneyland. That problem was solved, but there were many more to come. Anyway, Mary Poppins is a freaking awesome great masterpiece of a movie. Anyone who doesn't care for it lacks soul. It's witty, imaginative, poignant, magical...everything modern fantasy films pretty much aren't. Walt's masterpiece set the bar where no film since has managed to reach. It really is supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.

classic
-
I actually don't love the movie, watched in TV a lot as a kid, but I'm not over-the-top bugfuck love it. But I like it. And I can't figure out a person in the world who would actually actively dislike it. It'd be like kicking a puppy.
-
the most accurate captured on film to this day!
-
This HAS to exist somewhere.
-
but always loved Mary Poppins. It's been a shared favorite in my family since I can remember. Great movie, great characters, great messages and classic songs.
-
This made me happy. MARY POPPINS is one of my favs. I watched it as an adult, and nostalgia or what, it still hit all the right notes for me.<p>I am also a big fan of BEDKNOBS AND BROOMSTICKS.
-
but TSOM, no. may God have mercy on my soul
-
Did a great skit about Mary Poppins and how she was sleeping with Bert and the Constable. It was hilarious!!!!!
-
My favorite porn star.
-
Don't worry Quint, your not the only one to get the horn over Poppins era Andrews. I'm convinced that Andrews played it very knowingly. She played it like she knew that as soon as the kids were tucked into bed, Mary was going back to those rooftops of London and getting spit roasted, DP'ed and sucking as much chimney sweep cock as she fit in! "Cor', what a sight!" Indeed.
