MARY POPPINS (1964)

ROBERT STEVENSON

Plot

A proto-structuralist text which reveals and deconstructs the deep fissures in the facade of Victorian middle-class society and culturally constructed sexual roles. Dick Van Dyke's terrible British accent and the clever use of non-naturalistic background shows its Brechtian credentials.
