One the real tapes can be heard at the end of the film

"Mr. Banks is able. He has a good, tender heart, not a change of heart because he's always been sweet but worried with the cares of life."

" *P. L. Travers:* Now, who's reading? And go slowly.
*Don DaGradi:* You start and I'll take over.
*Robert Sherman:* 'Autumn. In the early part of the 20th century, 1910. London. At Number 17 Cherry Tree Lane, the Banks household is in an uproar.'
*P. L. Travers:* Hold it. Now, I see that Cherry Tree Lane as not too townified on one side of the park. And we'll get you a photograph of 50 Smith Street, in order to see that the house is really quite like that. But it has more of a garden than my house had. But it might be useful and amusing to put it in as my house. You see?
*Don DaGradi:* 'Upstairs in the nursery, where Mary is measuring up the children with a long row of tape measure, Mary reads off the tape that Jane is...' Well, first she says, 'What kind of material have we got to work with?'
*P. L. Travers:* No, no. That, we cannot have. That would be quite un-English.
*Richard Sherman:* Mrs. Travers, basically what we want to do here is use pretty much what you have in the book.
*P. L. Travers:* Yes, yes. Now, I want this tape measure to be used, because it was a tape measure that my mother had when she was a little girl.
*Richard Sherman:* Mmm-hmm.
*P. L. Travers:* And I think it would be very nice.
*Don DaGradi:* 'At the end of the chorus...'
*P. L. Travers:* Read me all that, now.
*Don DaGradi:* We were going to.
*P. L. Travers:* Read it. No, no. You read it.
*Don DaGradi:* Do you want to bear us?
(Chuckles)
*P. L. Travers:* No. Go on.
*Don DaGradi:* This is torture!
(Chuckles)
*P. L. Travers:* Now, go on. 'At the end of the chorus...' There ought perhaps to have been people in this countryside, you see? Are you making note of it? And they would be the Pearly people. They'd be arriving and they'd come nearer and they'd see, 'Ah. Hmm.' They know they are not grand enough to eat at this table. Have you got this on tape? Because I think it's important. I'm not going to do this film unless I'm available for it.
*Robert Sherman:* Well, there are these tapes also, you know.
*P. L. Travers:* No, it's not enough.
*Robert Sherman:* We, uh... We have to feel the impact of it.
*P. L. Travers:* Yes, yes. Well, anyway, it brings about whatever it is. Mr. Banks, um, is able. He has a tender, good heart, not a change of heart, because he's always been sweet, but worried with the cares of life."

Great movie. It was even awesome that they put a recording tape from that time at the end. Seriously, those recorded tapes are pure gold.

I remember that, during this part, the audience laughing in the theater every time P. L. Travers made a nit picky comment. This movie was so good!!!!

[DijetsOfficial]

I wish people would realise that this wasn't just a book for her. It was something very personal. A make believe messiah wrapped around paperback. As cynical as she might seem, remember she only agreed to do the film because of financial woes. And once agreed, she wanted other people to approach this story with warmth and a touch of realism instead of only seeing it as a commercially viable project. She wasn't mean! Marry Poppins was Travers' escapist ideology.

Saw this last night and it was a beautiful film

[Chocokaylarobin]

Most people have said she was mean and rude but it was her book and she does have the right to change it what ever way she wants but I also felt they didn't treat her with respect at all. Most of the time not even Walt Disney did. I guess they were both in the wrong but they finally came to a compromise.

[makennaadamson]

Wow... you they were very patient to work with a woman like P.L traverse!

[mikebaglione]

"No, no YOU READ!" always takes me out!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[rds]

To me the crazy part is the fact they still have these tapes saved almost half a century later.

[RikXtreme]

Wow...she was pretty difficult to work with..

[joewhitehead]

Emma Thompson made her mean in a more comical way

[TomorrowWeLive]

She must have been the most difficult author screen adapters have ever had to work with. Still, it was nice that an author had that sort of power. These days authors--unless they're JK Rowling-level famous--have no control whatever.

[evolvetrooper]

I would love to hear the archives of these amazing tapes and just listen and be inspied

[Saffron]

Emma Thompson said she was an old witch lol.
